On the money Georg, thank you. Thanks also to Alan for getting me 90% of the
way.
It works in IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera and Safari. I haven't been brave enough to
install IE8 yet. <g>
Regards,
Alan.

Subject: Re: [css-d] Anchor tags
Make it:
#selectable, #selectable a {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
height: 10000px;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(trans1px.htm);
z-index: 1;
}
...and the whole page will be covered by a working anchor in all
browsers - I think (didn't test in IE7).
The problem is how browsers calculate height in percentage - different
and depending on case, and there's not much to gain from battling their
differences for a case like this.
The easiest solution is to *not* use percentage for height but instead
make make the element/anchor *too tall*. The overshooting part
disappears above the screen where it won't be noticed and has no effect
on anything.
This method is demonstrated/tested to the extreme here...

...and we don't have to go to the extremes for the size of today's and
tomorrow's screens and browser-windows.
regards
Georg
