Okay, so far... > 5. I leave the height of the middle td unspecified. > 6. I set the height and width of the applet in the middle > td to 100%. This is the problem. The applet doesn't know what 100% means for height. > This method works in FF3 and IE7, but ONLY if I do NOT have > a <!DOCTYPE> declaration at the top of my file. THat triggers quirks mode, which lets the applet use the calculated height of the td to control the height of the applet. The standards don't legally allow this. > The fact that it works only without the <!DOCTYPE> > makes me suspect that > I'm somehow relying on non-standards-compliant behavior, > and I don't want to do that. In this case I think the options are to use quirks mode or decide on a set height for the upper and lower bars. Then you could easily do this in a nunber of ways, but i bet you want to have those elements be auto in height, leaving no good way to do it. At least I can't think of a good one...
