100% div height 1

Ok then. Check out

in internet explorer
If you change the page height the header and footer never resize, only the main text. I did this with tables.

Now i am rewriting it for other browsers (!) and am trying to acheive the same effect with just layers

the page is layed out thus

<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="heading"></div>
<div id="body"></div>
<div id="menu"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>

I got the layout fine, but just cant get it to only reduce the size of the body div. Any ideas?

And then try adding a complete doctype and watch your code fail.

I agree.
Introducing proprietery "hacks" goes against the whole ethos of web standards. The key phrase being proprietery.

Sure, we have to hack to accomodate different browser treatment of CSS but those hacks work by excluding some browsers from misinterpreting standard properties. They still employ the standards.
IE conditionals on the other hand, work by creating a whole new, non-standard fix that only works with 1 browser.
