Table Row Heights Bug in IE (Standard Mode )

Tyler Carver

I am trying to create a table that is 100% of the viewport with three
rows. The top and bottom rows have a fixed height and the center row
I want to take up the rest of the space. This work fine in Mozilla
and Opera but I cannot control the row height exactly in IE. Row
heights are working more like min heights.

Here are two examples.

http://hughaxton.com/newsgroups/IETableRowHeight.html
This one shows the height of the table at 100%

http://hughaxton.com/newsgroups/IETableRowHeight2.html
This one shows the height of the table at 600px

In both examples I have changed the top and bottom table rows to a
fixed height of 50px. You can easily see that IE treats this
differently than Mozilla and Opera. It does not keep the top and
bottom rows at the given height.

I've been thinking lately that I may have to use java script with IE
to get this to work.

Thanks for any solution to get IE working in standards mode
