Does anyone know how why Netscape and Opera on mac only doesn't like the height set to 100% on an overall container div?
To see what I mean this is the page:
<Sorry, no personal URLs.
See Terms of Service [webmasterworld.com]>
It works fine on all other browsers that I have tested it on, but it's just on Netscape and Opera for Mac that the white background doesn't show up behind all 3 columns.
Any ideas?

don't have an a mac to test this on, but have you got height 100% set on both the <HTML> and <BODY> elements, and is the wrapper a direct child of these elements? (inheritance needs to follow the document structure precisely) and what doctype are you using?
<html>
..<body>
....<wrapper>
I think IE/Mac has an issue if height 100% is set on the <html> element but you can hide it from it using a hack.

The height:100% is only on a div which contains 3 other divs. I am trying to do a 3 column layout which all have a container div which provides a white background.
I don't mind if it doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the page, but it needs to encompass all of the columns.
The doctype is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
