Basic HTML Tables

I'm such a noobie at HTML

How do I get a table at the bottom of the page.

And how do you get height=100% to work?

Thanks

To make a table display at the very bottom, the only way i know is to make a table surround the whole page, and define valign='bottom' for the cell where you want the table to display at the bottom... i'd avoid this though if i were you.

In CSS, there's a property called vertical-align. It doesn't work for the most part though, I'm not sure why, but one of the standards junkies on this board will probably be able to exaplain

Where have you been?

Anyway.
In CSS, vertical-align only works on inline elements (span and the like).

Me? Lol, glad that ppl remember

Anyway, to answer the question, my site died and i didn't really care for web development now that it was down... but just yesterday I got a new hosting account, supposedly extremely reliable, so, i'm putting the site back up slowly it's now at www.web-realm.com

Code:

#footer{
position:absolute;bottom:0px;
width:100%;
background:blue;
}

<div id='footer'>. . .</div>

would that work? of course it would overlap so the normal content that isnt absolute would need a bottom margin equal ot the height of the div

I couldn't make that layout without a table (i used just one, for the menu), and no one from TF could show me how ... i've already found the problem/solution to this, but really there's no point in re-writing it now, there's 0% wrong with using tables for this, really.

hehehe.
for me if no one in TF couldn't help me solving, the best way is to rewrite the code.
in most cases, it works :P
