Hello, I am trying to design a webpage that adjusts to the size of a browser. At the moment, I have some tables set up where the height is 100%, but this doesn't seem to function right. In IE, you have to scroll to get to the bottom (there is an image) and it seems that no matter how big the browser window is, you must scroll. In Safari, it table doesn't stretch to be 100%. Please view designworx.com/new/aboutus.html and there is a grey column with an image at the bottom. My intention is that no matter what size someone adjusts their browser to be, the image at the bottom of the grey column will always be at the bottom of the page. Any help?

height="100%" to my knowledge doesn't work in tables. The height of a table should be dictated by the contents inside it. With that in mind, you have more content than the browser height so therefore it[the table] is being pushed down giving you a scrollbar.
