But, your td does *not* have a height > 0. That is, it doesn't have any assigned height at all. Yes, it has a computed height, as every element does, but percentage heights are based off of the assigned heights of their ancestors. Without a height assigned to the td, a nested div inside with a percentage height is just going to collapse. > - If I insert a second div inside the first one, both boxes have a > height of 0 in both browsers.
