Doing without table height Derek Fountain 01-06-2005

I seem to recall from long ago that the TABLE HEIGHT attribute was
deprecated (or was Netscape only, or something). Hmmm...

I have a web page with a table which controls layout - one row with 3
columns. The left column contains another table containing the left side
menu, and the right side column contains another table for the right side
menu. The main content of the page goes in the middle.

Those two sub-tables are coloured, but as things stand they don't reach down
to the bottom of the page. I thought, when I did this sort of thing many
years back, that adding height="100%" to the sub-tables would have them
stretch downwards to fill their columns of the layout table. Maybe I was
wrong? But I don't think that's allowed these days...?

How can I make, in a standards compliant way, those sub-tables stretch
downwards so both sides of the page look symmetrical?
