RE: OT: Macs, Netscape, and table cell heights, oh my
Unfortunately, there isn't a solution that makes it work. As I said, the height attribute has been deprecated. In HTML 4, they cut it out for the TD and TR tags, and in HTML 4.01 they have now deprecated it for the TABLE tag. The only solution is to redesign to not require it.

netscape is famous for not conforming to its own specs.

No go on that. First off, the overall height of the cells in the row is driven by the amount of stuff in the cells - the cell that has the most, height-wise, drives the height of the rest. There's no hard value to use for an image height. Also, setting the image height to 100% didn't make a difference. The docs on Netscape's developer site states that putting "height=100%" on a table tag will make it conform to the parent element's height, but obviously this isn't the case in real life. :/ Works great in IE, though.

RE: OT: Macs, Netscape, and table cell heights, oh my
So since you want the inside tables to all be the same size, can't you just set the bgcolor for the containing TD? Some data Some data By the way if this works, it will be fine for solid colors, but if you set a background image, in some versions of Netscape the image will be carried up to the contained table and repeated in each cell. So don't do that.

Try using an invisible gif with the height set to 100% or set to a specific height...

OT: Macs, Netscape, and table cell heights, oh my
I've an issue with a project I'm working on, when it comes to Macs, specifically with Netscape 6. IE seems to do fine here. It *is* a CF based project, so there, nyah. :) I've got a table, with several vertical cells (i.e. all on one row). Within each cell, I create a new table, and based on the content for that cell, I build up one or more rows of stuff, close out the table. Each of those tables has a seperate b/g color (using CSS). All well and good. The issue here is, with Mac NS 6, the tables-inside-the-cells will *not* stretch to the full height of the enclosed cell, even with "height=100%" on them, when they are not the largest cell (which drives the overall height). What I get resembles an upside-down bar graph. In IE, the enclosed tables stretch to the full allowed height. (growls under breath) Any insight on this would be MOST appreciated.
