Thanks for the tip. After spending an hour or so working through all the other CSS stuff I was amazed how simple the answer was.

Dr1nks,

To get the effect you’re talking about, a simply put a height:auto !important, in the same element and it puts in the min height and stretches to accomodate the extra content if larger than the main height.

Admittedly I haven’t tried that one with % yet but it’s always worked with px height. I always have to do that to compensate for the IE6 misinterpretation of min-height.

Ok, I’m working on a clients site at the moment and they want the site to fit in 100% of the browser, ok that’s fine…

However in the bottom area of the site we have an image, that DOES go below the bottom of the browser window, but I have another overlay image that sits at the bottom (IE bottom: 0px;) that acts as an end to the other image.

Is there a way to have my background image stretch below the bottom of the browser window without the scroll bar appearing?!

If none of this makes sense then sorry, best way I can think of explaining it.

Stew.

Tyler, according to the w3c standards you shouldn’t be able to assign a height to a table. Safari is very standards compliant…bla bla bla…. table height won’t work because it shouldn’t work because height is not a valid table attribute (although I wish it was)

I can’t seem to utilize this on Mac Safari. I am having a hard time finding a way to have height:100% work on this browser. I am not using DIVs, but TABLEs. Any advice?
