100% table

[klik]

Okay, I have a layout in a 3 column format. Please don't lecture me on using a CSS design like other forums where I've asked for a simple fix.

You can see on the left column that there is a small box at the bottom of this column. This small rectangle is meant to stetch to the very bottom but is only about 4 pixels high, despite height being set to %100.


The code for this specific table is as follows

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" height="100%">
            <tr> 
              <td bgcolor="#E5E5E5">&nbsp;</td>
            </tr>
          </table>

Give the <td> a 100% height also perhaps?

Thanks for your attempt. Unfortunately no change.

If you are nesting a table within a td and giving that table a bg color, the bg color will expand with the content.

Give the <td> in which the nested table is the background color instead.

I'm not sure what you mean conradical. Could you adjust the code to reflect your suggestion? Or do I need to make more complex changes.

Thanks.

Edit : If you view the link again, it does now go all the way down but there is no border. I want the same border look as the right column, without using the bordercolor attribute.

If this is not urgent for you i can take a look at the code when i get home this evening, or even maybe my lunch break. Nested tables are a pain to look at in notepad!

Fire it up in dreamweaver and it should be a breeze.

That would be great. Thanks! I'll PM you the file.
