Hi,
I am a recently converted Iseries (AS/400) RPG programmer trying to learn HTML/CSS/JavsScript all at the same time (not fun). My problem deals mostly with CSS. I will be reveiving a table, for which number of rows/columns i will not know, and I have to pretty up the table, including a verical scroll bar. This has to work in IE6, IE7, and FireFox 3.5.
The CSS I currently have will give me a scrollable table, but only if I hard code in the height (in the TBODY section). If the number of rows are less than a full page size (i.e. no scrollbar is required), the column grow huge (as if they are trying to fill out the entire height with only 4 rows). This will work in IE6, as it seems to automatically set the table size and row height correctly. Also, if I change the height (in TBODY) to AUTO, or 100%, it will work well with a table that has less rows than the page, but will not give me a scrollbar when the number of rows overflow the page.
I will post the CSS here. The HTML doesn't do a whole lot except for set up the THEAD and TBODY sections. There is some JavaScript involved, which converts the table to be sortable.

Sorry for the length of the code.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
