Hey everyone, well I'm having some problems with making my main table 100% high. It is fine normally, but when I put in my HTML 4.01 Transistional Declaration it ignores the 100% height bit. It does this when I set it using CSS (style="height:100%;") or HTML (height:"100%").

I've been looking into a JavaScript fix, but it seems stupidly long-winded and i'm having problems retreiving the main webpage section of the browser's height.

If anyone can shed some light on either of these two problems, I'd be very gratefull!

Thanks in advance,

Stormx

can you show us the page you are having problems with ?

also it's height="100%" and not height:"100%"
: is for css
= is for HTML

Love,
Mirna

Sorry I typed that wrong, I ment to say:

CSS (style="height:100%;") or HTML (height="100%").

it is at 100% height, it's 100% of the content, not the page (I think that's what you mean...)

Hmm I think I understand what you mean, but width doesn't behave this way, and it works fine outside of HTML 4.01 transitional. I want it to be W3C complient.

Hey everyone, I fixed it myself! I replaced this declaration:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

With this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Only slightly different but still valid, and it fixes the problem! Woo!
