table question

[tyris]

i have been asked a curious question, and even if i'm used to code in html i was unable to answer.. maybe you could

if i have a table with only one cell, and i want that this cell takes all the screen's height, what should i do ? because if i put a 100% attiributes, this will only show 100% of what the cell is containing ! so what can i do so that whatever the cell contains the height of the table will take all the IE screen ??? Best regards,

in fact my question is :
how to make a table take all the screen, without using fixed widths and heights ? Best regards,

Just specify your height and width in the table tag.

IE: <table height=&quot;100%&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;> &quot;The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us&quot;

Yeah, using 100% attributes is the only way. By default, any content you put within the <td> will be centered vertically within the table. If you want content DEAD center, use <td align=&quot;center&quot;> as well.
