XHTML & Table heights

[Jason2k1]

I am currently creating a new site, and am trying to make it xhtml 1.0 compliant. Here is what i have done so far:

http://www.gamezonenetwork.myhost24.com/dev/index.php

I have got rid of many of the errors within my page. There are just twelve left.

When i validate it (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.gamezonenetwork.myhost24.com/dev/index.php) it gives the error the height attribute in a table does not exist. I am trying to get the table to be 100% the height of the browser(You'll understand if you look at the site), What else am i supposed to use to do this? Also there are other errors any help would be grateful.

# Line 26, column 26: there is no attribute "height" (explain...).

<table width="770" height="100%" bgcolor="#bbbaaa" border="0" align="center" cel

that section remove the
height="100%"
part in that tag and add

style="height: 100%"

in its place

you can do that for just about all of the height issues that the validator complains about

 

[Geffy]

the compliant about the background tag, you should move that to be within a STYLE tag as well

That'd do it

Here's an example of background style

style="background-image: url("img/bg/blah.png");  background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed;"

Thanx for the help, moving the height into the style attribute gets rid of the validation errors, but if you look on the actual page, the table is still not 100% of the browser height like it should be. Any Ideas?

Yeah, dont use any height tags or anything.

 

[Jason2k1]

So what am i meant to use instead to make the table 100% of the browser height?

 

[X-Istence]

dont make it 100%, i get ticked off when sites do that. Just make the text / whatever else on your site make it longer than 100% at lets say 800 x 600 resolution. There is no reason to make it 100% if there is no content there.

Well if you look at my site (http://www.jasongillyon.co.uk) i would have liked the middle darker section to be 100% of the browser height. If you know how to do this, please tell me. Otherwise i think i'll manage with how it is now.

Also i am having trouble with the embed tag in my pages.

If i remove them the flash won't work in netscape. Anyone have any ideas?
