Hi

Im trying to be all good and make my new website standards compliant.

When I put the doctype in

[quote]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">[/quote]

It screwed up my page height (was displaying as 100%, as defined in the style tag for the table that envelops everything).

I did a bit of research and found that I also needed to set html, body { height: 100%; }

Did that, and it looks great in firefox, but in IE the table rows are no longer the correct height, despite having their height defined in the css.  I also tried adding the height attributes to the <td> element (inline style tags) but didnt work.

Anyone have an Idea of what I can do to sort this out?

See this basic example below,  in FF the HEAD cell is 100px tall, but in IE its way huge (more than half the page)

[code]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Testing</title>
<style>
html{
height: 100%;
}
body{
height: 100%;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: verdana;
}
.mainTable{
height: 100%;
width: 880px;
}
.headNav{
height: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table class="mainTable" border="1">
<tr>
<td class="headNav">
Head
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
main
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
foot
</td>
</tr>
</table>



</body>
</html>
[/code]
