You're observing the correct behavior with the complete doctype. The
height attribute for tables is not valid, so a browser in compliance
mode will rightfully ignore it.
However, one *can* apply 100% height to a table with CSS, but it needs
a parent element to be 100% of. If you want your table to fill the
browser window, you'll have to make both the html and body elements
100% first.
html, body { height: 100%; }
#mytable { height: 100%; }
Of course, you shouldn't be using tables for page layout anyway and
this advice should not be construed as an advocation of such misuse of
HTML. [Disclaimer included to maintain my standardista image.]
