Im having trouble getting this to work. I have on table, which has variable height, and I wish to have another table inside that table that is 100% of that height, but I can never get this to work.

<table height="variable">
<tr>
<td>

<table height="100%">
<tr>
<td>blah</td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

It never matches the outer table, it acts like I didn't even include the height parameter. :confused:

Notice how there is no height attribute on the table... I think IE will let you get away with the height attribute depending on the DOCTYPE...

So there is no way I could do this?

Notice its in the < td > tag... but as is stated, use styles instead.

That will work but your page need not to be a standard. Which means you don't insert a doctype.

Or use html 4.0 something doctype, I've never tried that before so I don't know if it will work or not.
