DTD problem with tables

[plowman]

Is there actually anyway of forcing a table to stretch to the browser window whilst using a 4.01 DTD?I've tried using both mere height/width attributes and also:

<table style="height:100%; width:100%;>


Thanks anyone who replies...and Happy New Year!

I think you can put width=100% outside of style and it'll work.

<table width=100%>

Or is that not kosher anymore?

I never got height to work in style, but I think I got width to. Declare it in your stylesheet as an override.

table.full { width:100% }

Then <table class=full>


Something to try anyhow.

Yeah thanks,

but i can get width to work...its just that darn height!

It does however work when i do not include a DTD...or at least a HTML 4.01 DTD.

How important is it to include a DTD? Anyone? Will there be a fatal consequence if a DTD is not included???

Thanks

i think you also have to put the height into the <td> as well to get it to work
