Dear Sven, also <td height="600"> works fine, and allows to have all pages that are "shorter" than 600 px to look the same, whereas the others are rendered as they are. A percentage is more dynamic but makes appearance change in all pages (80% of each different height). Anyway, let the user choose the best one! ;-) Bye Stefano
