I want to use a table to fill a web page. Is there something I can do to make the table's width adjust itself to equal the width of the browser window?

Googled without success. TIA for any help.

[table width="100%" height="100%" border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0]
[tr]
[td]

[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

In addition to the above, you may also want to set the following attributes to the body tag:

[body marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"]

Of course, change the [] to <>

Ooops, dupe.

Of course, like that, your HTML won't validate, and you'll be laden with all the sins of Sodom & Gomorra by web evangelists. Or won't you? Width and height ARE deprecated tags.

The way I do it is with css, it's as easy as writing

[table style="height:100%; width:100%;"]

One thing: it helps, if you want full width and height, to put the following in the body tag

[body style="padding:2px;"]

or a little more. It will put 2 pixels at top, left, bottom, right, so your table will still be centered, but the advantage is that this prevents scroll-bars from appearing in many browsers (scroll-bars, moreover, that you cannot get out by resizing the window, I think IE is quite good at that), as if your table where actually larger than 100%.

It's a quirky world we live in...

Are you sure that a table at 100% is the best way technically to achieve want you want? With the utmost respect, perhaps the design may need some rethinking if it depends on it?
