hello.

i have this html code…

```auto

<div align="left" style="height:100%; width:100%; position:absolute;">
<table width="780" height="100%"" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="img5.jpg">
  <tr>
   .....
    .....

```

now the output should have a table with 100% height…  
in IE, it does not output that… but strangely, in Firefox, it shows it correctly…

can anyone suggest a code that will work on both IE and firefox?  
the site is here: [http://www.ekini.com](http://www.ekini.com)

somehow, if i ony place \<table height=“100%” … it does not stretch the height in both browsers… althought i think it was supposed to… thats why i added the \<div\> tag…

it has been awhile since i have done some design, so i would appreciate any post in this thread…

thanks!
