RE: IE6 standard-compliant mode and TABLE elements

Hi Brian,

Well, the first and last row cannot be of height:1px if you have text
nodes in the child TDs (unless you set table-layout property to "fixed",
or change the TDs' overflow  ;-)
Other than that, I think it renders fine, both in the beta and release
versions. Here's the markup:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1">
  <head>
    <title>
      table-layout Demo
    </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <table
style="width:100%;height:100%;color:#ffffff;font-size:25px;table-layout:
fixed;" summary="fixed layout table">
      <tr style="height: 1px; background-color:red;">
        <td>
	Top     
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td style="background-color: blue;">
          Middle
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr style="height: 1px; background-color:red;">
        <td>
	Bottom
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

If you load it on your IE6, you'll have first and last rows of 1px
height while the middle row "auto-fills" as you say.

Kindest regards,

Manos
