Re: Creating templates - positioning regions

I think the solution is to firstly create a table 750 W x 600 H centred, then put everything inside it.

Table height is invalid HTML and will fail on a page authored in a stock
DMX2004.

Don't put *everything* inside the table or you will have problems with your
rendering of absolutely positioned page elements.

In what browser(s)? I agree that table height is not valid, however, it
does work in the browsers I'm able to test on. What FAILS is a
percentage height and that fails because the HTML and/or BODY tags do
not expand vertically to fill the viewport. Try this and tell me if you
get it to fail:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<table width="400" height="400" border="1" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
