Hey Most discussions on liquid layouts I've read lately seem to concentrate on width and text line length. I haven't seen much on the 100% height issue. Using html v4.01 with 100% height usually works fine in most browsers using divs or tables or a combination of both.
Here are two valid html v4.01 examples http://hinterlands.com.au/testing/testdivv4.html http://hinterlands.com.au/testing/testtablev4.html Here are two valid xhtml examples http://hinterlands.com.au/testing/testdiv.html http://hinterlands.com.au/testing/testtable.html Both version share the same CSS and they are here http://hinterlands.com.au/testing/testdiv.css http://hinterlands.com.au/testing/testtable.css In the xhtml versions Mozilla, Firebird and Opera all seem to agree on not expanding each section unless there is content filling the space within them. IE on the other hand happily expands each section, I suspect because the browser renderer doesn't really differentiate between xhtml and html. IE on Mac does its normal expand the page well beyond 100% regardless of which html version for both div and table versions. Safari renders the table versions expanded and the div version squashed regardless of the html version. Does anyone know of any links to further reading on this? Any advice, experiences appreciated.
