Hello,

I have a complex table (which I have simplified for this post to allow
better focus on the problem ). In one cell, I want to show 2 images. One at
the top of the cell, one at the bottom. I do not know the height of the
cell - the height depends on the amount of content in the other cells in the
same row and on the width of the beowser-window. What I tried is creating
another table in the cell, with 2 rows (with 1 cell each), aligning the
images at the top and bottom. But the browser (IE 6) ignores the
height="100%" -- which is strange, for usually it accepts this attribute.

Here is the simplified example:
http://www.eigelb.at/tables.html

If I specify the height of the table absolute (in Pixels) and without "%",
it works fine. But I can not do that for I do not know the height of the
cell and therefore the height of the table.

Any help would be appreciated -- I don't care if there is a subtable in the
cell or not, I just want to align 2 images in a cell - one on top, one at
bottom, no matter what height the cell has. I would to prefer not using
JavaScript (e. g. reading the height of the cell, then setting the height of
the table using JavaScript).

Thanks,
Paul Schmidinger

Maybe this will do the trick:

It does, thank you! I experimented with rowspan and colspan before, but I
used too many of them so the browser would not use my width- and
height-attributes. But using only some simple rowspans should do the trick!

Hi,

Here is an article explaining how to correctly setting the height of the elements on page 100%:
