Is it possible to force a table to fill the whole printed page. For example, if the last page needed for the table is only half filled, can I somehow tell the browser to make the last row height bigger to fill the rest of the page? I am trying to get a html header/ footer on a page (but I want the footer in the same location on every page) and so far the following code is the only way I can see to coming close to how to do it...

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<STYLE>BODY{font-size: 18pt }</STYLE>

<BODY>

<TABLE height=100% width=100% border=1 cols=1>
<THEAD style=&quot;display: table-header-group&quot;>
<TR><TH>My header</TH></TR>
</THEAD>
<TFOOT style=&quot;display: table-footer-group&quot;>
<TR><TH><br>My footer</TH>
</TFOOT>
<TBODY>
<tr><td>PUT MANY LINES OF TEXT HERE TO TEST IT.</td></tr>
<tr><td>PUT MANY LINES OF TEXT HERE TO TEST IT.</td></tr>
<tr><td>PUT MANY LINES OF TEXT HERE TO TEST IT.</td></tr>
<tr><td>PUT MANY LINES OF TEXT HERE TO TEST IT.</td></tr>
<tr><td>PUT MANY LINES OF TEXT HERE TO TEST IT.</td></tr>
<tr><td>PUT MANY LINES OF TEXT HERE TO TEST IT.</td></tr>

</TBODY>

</TABLE>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Cheers.

Depends on how many rows are in the table. But for the sake of argument, say 3, but the last page is only half full so the footer is half way up the page.
