Topic awaiting preservation: Matching the height of a table with a div

If I want to take a div and strech it out so that it is the same height as a % sized table, how do I go about this?

Thanks,

Apply the offsetHeight+'px' of the TABLE to the style.height of the DIV

Note this has to be done using a page onload handler (or from some event after the page loads). If you just do it with a script in the head it will error.

You should also, I believe, be able to place a wrapper div around the table and the div you want ot match its height, invisibly, and have the matching div's height set to 100%. It should* then stetching up and down to fit the height of the wrapper, no matter how big it may get.

* and I mean should. I'm not sure on this score as I've never done it before

[quickie] Skaarj: don't have the time to make a testcase but I seem to remember that in that case the DIV that is not stretched by the TABLE would take 100% of the visible viewport, not 100% of its parent. [/quickie]

Hmm... let me throw something together, and we shall see the whichness of the why.

[edit]Well, you're sort of correct. It doesn't expand to fit the height like I thought it would. What it does instead, though, is fits is content+paddings and leaves it at that.[/edit]
