Trying to get table to extend to bottom of page

**toasterhead1** · 05-23-2004, 09:45 PM

I've been trying for a few hours (yes a few hours

) to get this table to extend to the bottom of the page, but I'm unable too. It seems like I've tried everything, so I'm thinking I must be missing something simple in the code. Any help appreciated. Here is the site : Here
And here is a picture of exactly what I'm talking about: Picture

If I just set the last cell to height="100%", and the parent table to height="100%" , the last cell should extend to the bottom of the page shouldn't it? Thats how I have it coded on the page above where the problem occurs, and its driving me crazy. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's because the height attribute in tables is weird. It doesn't work. When building in DreamWeaver, it'll suggest to add it if you start typing it, but if you run the code stuff, it says that height is not currently supported...

What I recommend is just using some tags to make it think there is content there.

Do you mean to add a few tages to the cell that I wish to exapnd/contract depending on the length of the page? I tried adding a few tags there and no success, it just extends as for the tags make it.

Or do you mean I should add tags to every page to make it the same length, as the parent table without even messing with the height attribute.. meaning there would be a different amount of tags per page?

Thanks for the quick reply... its GREATLY appreciated

Welp I finally got it guys...thank you so much Wahoo, though you didnt solve the problem, you showed me it was impossible to fix it lol. Basically what I was trying to do was impossible because no browser hardly reads the height attribute in table (as Wahoo taught me). So I had to redo the layout and to not bore you it now works lol. Thanks for all the help guys, it is much appreciated =)
