Internet Explorer does not understand the concept of hight??
http://www.bja888.com/blog/
This is the second time IE has destroyed my whole layout!!
First in html 4.01 and now in xhtml (1.0).
index.asp
<td><img src="images/layout_31.gif" width="24" height="100%" alt="" border="0" class="fullUp" /></td>'
sheet.css
img.fullUp{height:100%;}'
Any alternatives?

I am working on this page still and getting really pissed. The lik isnt showing the proublem any more. But it still needs fixed.
The top half of my table is fixed heights. Then there is a section where I want it to stretch. Then the bottom caps it off. What all browsers are doing is totally forgetting any height settings and avarageing all the rows destroying the whole design.
I'm starting to think that browsers are compleatly uncapable of advanced designs and we should surrender web disign to the idiots makeing the shitty designs.
help.....please.....

Actually browsers do understand height perfectly, What they don't understand is an arbitary un-dimensioned figure such as 100%, or more correctly they understand as being the full height of the parent container if the parent container has an explicit height associated.
Not heard of float and clear? It's not that difficult to position a few images together in CSS
And BTW The correct spelling of "Regester" is Register

The linked page looks the same in IE6, FF1.0.6, NS7.1, Moz1.6, Opera7.54
Have you a link to a "broken" page

Look now, fine in firefox but not in IE or opera.
If I take the 100% image out of the page firefox looks the same at the others.

Hey I see the problem, I looked into it and you have a floating element or non existing cell on the body part which stretches the left nav, then pushing the table up... This is difficult to fix unless you recode the whole thing and being creful with the use of tables, or code everything in CSS to make it all work out...
Heres a bit of tip... Make a backup of the original html file, then open it in frontpage to see what part of your table has the problems...

Fallow up...
I started from scratch and created the whole design and then added the content to find no... IE does not understand height....
http://www.bja888.com/blog/postArchive.aspx
This page was intended to stay mostly blank but I needed to make the table 500 pixles high so it would look right.
Row one - 20 pixels
Row two - 20 pixels
Row three - 50 pixels
Row Four - No value
Onece again IE does not take into consideration the hight valuse and mave every row 125 pixels.
Was supposed to be at 40 pixels is now at 250.
I had to put in a 400 pixel spacer to make it look closer to normal.
F**K Microsoft Internet Explorer!

As you have found out they don't always work as expected, the reason being they were never meant to be used for layout.
Use them for their correct purpose, tabular data, and use appropriate markup for layout.

Third This! Anyways you can combine CSS and tables if you can be be patient enough, see the template I posted for review as an example of this, the client coded it in table and didnt lay-out quite as he expected, I corrected it then use a combination of CSS where now it looks ok...
