What's the HTML code for creating a page that contains a header, side nav, main body, and footer using tables. The specs are ... 1. The table should resize automatically to fit the whole window (even through resizes) 2. The header and footer "rows" should be compact and be tall enough to perfectly fit the contents 3. The side nav should take 25% of the width of the window 4. The main body should take 75% of the width of the window, but the height should stretch to take the remaining height of the window (basically main_body_height = window_height - footer_height - header_height) I've come up with a solution; however, it involves specifying a height for the <tr> tag. And in all HTML references I've seen, <tr> DOES NOT support the height property (?) Any thoughts? -Arvind

You should avoid using tables for layouts, CSS is the way to go! look at this page: http://realworldstyle.com/2col.html I think that is what you are after! Eric

<TR> does support height, but like Eric said, use CSS. I've made pretty complex pages with nested tables, and when I test these pages across browsers, well, it wasn't pretty. Tables are extremely annoying if you are using them for layout, and you want your page to be compatible with all the major browsers (IE, Netscape, Safari, Mac IE, Firefox, etc.). Also, do yourself a favor, and code a page using CSS...see how much cleaner it is than using tables. WS
