IE explorer problems with tables.

[dale]

i've done a preview version of a blog that i'm working on and it's viewing perfectly in FF but when i put it in IE it makes the cells spread. (ps none of the links are up - i've only done this one page so far)

click here (http://www.geocities.com/napierjl/blog_latest.htm) to see what i mean.

i know the problem lies in this properties of the archive section:




<tr height="*">



i want the actual blog area to go for as long as it needs therefore i need a variable height of the "archive" area.

can anyone help?

thanks,

once again - apologies about geocities.

Cant you just set it to 100%?

either set the table to * or the <td> to *

[dale]

nope none of those worked. i still cant figure it out.

the only way i've managed to get it all to line up is to find out what the actual height of the TD is. But that means every time I put in a new entry i'll have to find it again - which is not what i want.

i've made a simplified layout available here (http://www.geocities.com/napierjl/layout.htm)

^it's easier to see it this way

the problem is definately the height="*" in explorer.

check again if you have any extra spaces in between or missing quotes or anything of that kind

[dale]

im doubtful that it would be that - cos i've done two versions of the table layout (actual thing and then the basic one) and it happens in both - and i didn't copy and paste the code.

stupid explorer :shifty:
