Anyone know anything about the following issue? (Which I reported with the bug button.)

http://www.avannaproductions.com/table.html

Any workarounds? Knowledge of a pending fix? It's causing a problem with a site I'm designing. Thanks.

Safari doesn't fit it to the content here, what version are you using?

Yes, it seems just fine with 1.0 (v85). I've never experienced table problems with Safari.

no it doesn't work right for me here.

The table seems to be sized correctly, but the grey background does not extend the height of the screen, and the text is not centered height-wise in the bottom cell.

You just have to compare the page in Camino and Safari/Omniweb to see the difference...

From Hyatt's blog:

"So... a couple of problems that I've fixed in the last week that should hopefully cheer some people up. "

...

"The second bug I fixed (just today) was the dreaded background bug. Safari 1.0 has a regression that causes backgrounds to be clipped to the height of the html element. If the html element had content that spilled out of it, then the background didn't paint in that area. Although this sizing of the html element is correct (according to the spec, even though this doesn't match other browsers), not painting the background is not correct. The problem has been corrected."

- My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

I'm using 1.0.
Oh, excellent! I guess I'll just wait longingly for Hyatt's fix. Thanks for the good news.

If coloring the borders isn't a problem, you can set the bgcolor within the <table> tag to fill that bottom cell (and the others).
