As an update, I've gotten a function (adjustHeight) that works pretty well within IE7 and doesn't need to work in IE6 since contents cant spill out of divs under that rendering.
It's a little simpler. Below is my code. Maybe someone knows why Firefox isn't interpreting it as I expect? I don't think any DOM properties I use are unsupported (I've used them in other ways successfully) so I'm not sure what's up.

Here is my function, outside of HTML:
- function adjustHeight() {
-
-
if (document.getElementById('tableless')) {
-
var allDivs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
-
for (var i=0; i < allDivs.length; i++) {
-
if (allDivs[i].className=='contentContainer') {
-
if (allDivs[i].firstChild && allDivs[i].firstChild.scrollHeight) {
-
if (allDivs[i].firstChild.offsetHeight > allDivs[i].offsetHeight) {
-
document.getElementById('tableless').style.height = 'auto';
-
break;
-
}
-
else if (allDivs[i].firstChild.offsetHeight <= allDivs[i].offsetHeight) {
-
if (document.getElementById('tableless').style.height == 'auto') {
-
document.getElementById('tableless').style.height = '88%';
-
adjustHeight();
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
}

}

}

}
