XHTML Table 100% High Problem

[da644]

Hi Everyone.

I'm having a problem with getting a table to be 100% height in XHTML. If I change my DOCTYPE back to HTML4.01 it works fine. I set the width and height in a CSS stylesheet by adding the following class to the stylesheet.

.mainTable {
height:100%;
width:100%;
}

I've then created the table using this class:-

<table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;mainTable&quot;>

Anyone know why it ignores the height:100%?

Best Regards

Try using the HTML Trans. DOCTYPE and view the page in a browser other than IE, and it won't work. The problem is that IE is too forgiving with html, but it follows the standards for XHTML. You can set the height of the table to 100% by sticking:
style=&quot;height:100%&quot;
in the table itself, but you will end up running into a number of other problems with cell spacing.
