So I have a table at the top of my page, which contains the header banner, tagline, etc.
Then I have another table, and a table row for the links. Then I want the next table row, beneath it, to hold all the main body of the page. That means I need it to be the whole height of the page. I tried using the height="100%" propery on the td, no luck. Tried it on the <table>, no luck.
Any help?
Code:
(pseudocode)
<table>
<tr>
<td> holds me banner image </td>
<td> holds some text, aligned to the right of the page, just a tagline sort of thing </td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td> holds all my links - not a navbar on the left, but rather a navbar on the top. </td>
<td> the main body of text </td>
</tr>
</table>

Code:
<table border="1" height="100%" width="100%">
<tr><td width="200" height="75">Banner</td><td>Tagline</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" height="30">Links</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" valign="top">Main Page</td></tr>
</table>

Hm, I always want everything to be in percentages. Always. Everything. Is there a way to do that with percentages?

Oh, right I see...
Okay, but that doesn't work when using two <table>s. Is it possible to have the second table have height="100%"?

Why do you need two tables?

So I don't have to rewrite all of my code.

Tables are defined to only be the height of their content where possible. So put more content in

Ouch. That's the only way?
But it's alright...I guess it can't hurt to have one pixel-based propery...600px. Should cover the whole page in even the highest resolution.

Well... if you make the background colour the same as your table background colour, and don't have a bottom border then it doesn't matter
That's what I've done with subOracle, for the information screens.
