newbie: page don't dispay correctly in Opera

Hey

Opera version:
Version 8.0
Build 7561
System Windows XP

When testing this markup (see below) on Internet Explorer (version 6.0) it
works great, but it isn't displayed correctly when testing in the Opera
browser.. The problem is that on Opera this markup don't fill the full
height of the browser window... it fills about 50% of the browser window...
But on IE it fills the full height of the browser window.. So my question
is: why isn't my markup working correctly in Opera, and what must I do to
get it displayed correctly in Opera?

<body LEFTMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 TOPMARGIN=0>
<center>
<table width="90%" height="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td height="55">
<img src="test.jpeg"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="2">
<tr height="20">
<td bgcolor="AntiqueWhite"></td>
<td>
Test data
</td>
<td bgcolor="AntiqueWhite"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td width="200" bgcolor="AntiqueWhite" rowspan="2">
<ul id=level1>
<li>Menu level 1<li>
<ul id=level2>
<li>Menu level 1<li>
</ul>
</ul>
</td>
<td>
content
</td>
<td width="200" bgcolor="AntiqueWhite">
Hello world
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" height="70" align=center bgcolor="AntiqueWhite">
Hello world 2
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Best Regards!

Jeff

It is invalid and abuses tables for layout.

Submit your code to the html validator and start working on
the errors:
