Hi guys,

I have a table which I want to set the height of to 100%.

The table has been given an id of “main” so how can I set the height in my stylesheet.

I’ve tried various combinations of things but to no avail. At the moment I have:

```auto
#main {
 	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	vertical-align: top;
	height: 100%;
}

```

Thanks very much and hope to hear from you.

All the best,

Mark
