Hi,
It seems like HTML 4.01 Transitional spec. doesn't allow table height
to be expressed in percents.
When i have this doctype tag:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
the percents don't work.
I need to make my HTML to be valid 4.01, how can i make a table
populate the whole page? In other words how can i get the same effect
as width="100%" and height="100%"
Thanks,
Alex

height is not a valid attribute of <table> in any HTML specification

you shouldn't be using tables for layout. having valid html isn't much
use if your document is broken from the start.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<title>blah</title>
<style type="text/css">
html,body{margi n:0;padding:0;h eight:100%;}
table{width:100 %;height:100%;b order:1px solid red;}
</style>
<table><tr><td> blah</td></tr></table>

Out of curiosity (and a lack of finding good info on w3.org), what is the
preferred (standard) method of columnar layout? I never read much about the
table specifications until now, and I can't seem to find where it says using
tables for containing other parts of the layout tree is bad. (I'm sure I'm
not looking quite hard enough.) Do you have a link where I can just start
reading how to layout columns the "proper" way?
I use columns all the time for my layouts' navigation. Until I find out
different, I always use a single-row table to split the page into two or
three columns. I always thought it was kind of clunky, but it got the job
done, and I do feel that it's a bit of a violation of a "good" parse tree to
use a data layout method for page layout.
I looked up COL and COLGROUP, but they are only relative to a table in
context.
Thanks for anyone's advice,
Zac

Thanks a ton! This is exactly what I was looking for. It's too bad that we
have to tip-toe around this M$ crap all the time. I did like the
closing-bracket bug, though. I have a lot more uses for that little gem.
Thanks again,

Yes it's valid. But it does not meet the additional criteria that you

Look at the <col> element. That's what tells the browser the number of
columns. As you haven't included any <col>s then the browser can not

So if a browser only displays the first table cell in each row you
only have yourself to blame.
More likely the browser will realise that you have made an error and
will reformat the table, i.e. it will take more than one pass. As you
haven't complied with the requirements given you can't expect anything
else.

The <li> element type is to put items into lists. If you don't follow that
part of the specification, then what makes you think the advice given in
other parts of the specification will still hold true?
HTML and CSS are not designed to obviate the need for human intelligence

list element types.

Hi
I am currently writing a site that utilises tables. I have one page
that links to a second page.
The only problem is that when I link to the second page, the table
loads up with a different height than was set in the code.
However, when I use the navigation buttons in IE to go back and then
forward again to the second page, the table is displayed as expected.

How can I find the height and width of a webpage? Say I want to make
sure someone's webpage is within an 800X600 viewing area. Width is the
most important but if I can get width, I should also be able to get
height.
I don't need to modify the page in anyway. Just get the width and
height. I can reference the page in an iframe, cfhttp (CFMX) or
something if it needs to be on my server.

Hi,
Your opinion please on the following subject: Is it acceptable to set
the width and height of an image in ems or percents in CSS?
The advantage for me is that images will scale up or down when the user
changes the font size in the browser. But what of the disadvantages?
In (X)HTML, the img-element will have a pixel-value for the width and
height-attributes.
