Does anyone know why there is no HEIGHT attribute for tables? It would seem to me that since you can specify the width, you should also be able to specify the height (of tables, or rows). To my surprise, height is not valid (according to the validator). I ran into this problem when I wanted to have a page containing three columns, each with a different background color, that spanned the entire page. The only solution I have been able to think of (which I have yet to try) is to try to determine the visitors resolution using javascript, and then insert the appropriate number of <BR> tags to make the column extend to the bottom of the page. However, I would really be interested in knowing why there is no HEIGHT attribute. Any clues? Thanks, Peter Foti
