hello everyone,

 

does anyone know of a way to FORCE a table to take up the entire screen?

 

I've obviously tried using width=100% but this is giving weired results..

 

Bascially I have a table that needs to be stretched across the entire screen of the user then a div is nested inside of that and is located in the dead center of the screen.

 

The problem I'm having is that the table will not take up the whole screen.. I either have to specify a height or a width .. it won't let me use just 100%..

 

here is he source code for it..:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="schedule.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">

function openday(x)
{
document.getElementById('HDay').value=x;
document.getElementById('Hform').submit();
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<!-- HIDDEN FORM //-->
<form action='schedule.php' method='post' name='Hform'>
<input type='hidden' name='HDay' value='' />
</form>
<!-- HIDDEN FORM //-->

<div id='container'>

<!-- BRING IN Gblz //-->
<style type='text/css'>#Sep22008{background-color:navy;background-image:url('imgs/cell4.png');}#Sep22008:hover{background-image:url('imgs/cell5.png');}#Sep22008.hover{background-image:url('imgs/cell5.png');}</style>

<!-- BRING IN Dsel //-->

	<table id='Popper'>
		<tr>
			<td>
				<div id='PopDay'>
					<h1>Sep242008</h1>
				</div>
			</td>
		</tr>	
	</table>


<!-- LOGIN //-->
<div id="LoginBox">
<br />
<a title="Login" href="login/login.php"><img alt="" onmouseout="this.src='imgs/Login-1.png'" onmouseover="this.src='imgs/Login-2.png'" src="imgs/Login-1.png" /></a></div>

<!-- MENU //-->
