hi guys
a quick question. i set the height of a div to 100%....IE renders it, mozilla doesn't
kuckus said, this might not be possible without Java Script. any thoughts? is there a way to get this working?

Usually this can be solved by doing two things -

set the HTML to height:100%;

set the BODY to height:100%;

Of course, it may depend on some more of the particular circumstances.

mas: How is set the height of the parent element of your DIV ? Could you provide a test page/url ?
AFAIK it has absolutely nothing to do with JavaScript. As you ( should ) already know IE's support of the CSS is a bad joke. You'd better test your CSS in a really standard compliant browser and hack it to please IE.

this is not doable using an xhtml doctype, 100% is considered the window's initial live area, if you scroll down below the initial live area it will stop. The only way to create the appearance of 100% height when there's no content inside to push it open that far, is to fake it using background images.

Check out the red div here if I understood/guessed your desire correctly, this should illustrate my point.

Or you could skip the div and use a table, and set its height to 100%

I believe you'd have to strip doctype to even get a table to 100%

EDIT forgot about this technique that was submitted not long ago in this thread at the gurusnetwork. Impressive results but I haven't had the time to go through it yet to understand it, Can't argue with the results tho, very nice.
