Thanks, but as I mentioned earlier, the problem I'm seeing is not just with the nonstandard height attribute: I get exactly the same results when using the style attribute, as in "style = 'height: 100%'"--which is (AFAIK) perfectly legal for XHTML and CSS. The newer netscape and IE don't seem to me to be honoring 100% height requests no matter HOW they are made. What's up with that??

I tried doing a google on if table height was vaild, but I couldn't seem to find anything clear, and I often get a migrane when trying to find a clear quick answer at the W3C. So... I pulled out my O'Reilly HTML & XHTML The Definitive Guide and part of what it says is about the height attribute:"This attribute is useful when trying to stretch tables to fit in a frame or some specific area of a document but is of little use otherwise, particularly since it is not a standard attribute." And since the direction is supposed to be toward CSS for layout, not tables, putting in a non standard table attribute isn't going to be too important on the list of features for newer, more compliant browsers. Even if it would make some designers' lives easier.
