How to make a cell/table sit at the bottom of the screen

in all resolutions

[diddlydazz]

Is there a way to make a cell or a table sit at the bottom of the screen?

ie.

<table>-------------------
<content>------
-------
-------
<table>at bottom of screen

i am sure there must be :)

thanks in advance as always

If you set a fixed height for the middle "blank" table, you could position the bottom one where you wanted it.

But I'm not sure there is way to get it there for all resolutions automatically.

Maybe in a CSS....

Not sure if this is what you're looking for - but here is one approach (this could also be done with CSS as a DIV - using no tables at all):

<table border="0" height="100%"> 
<tr><td> 
<!-- content or other stuff --> 
</td></tr> 
<tr><td valign="bottom"> 
<!-- stuff for bottom --> 
</td></tr></table>

Thanks for the replies

The page is set up with 3 different tables with columns of different widths.

I just wanted to align the last cell with the bottom of the screen, but I suppose I can't :(

Thanks anyway

Why don't you try with inner tables? Put an outer table with three rows(since your page contains three tables) with each row containing a table. You can fix the height and alignment of the third(bottom) row as desired.

<tr>
<td height="20%" align="left" valign="bottom">
<table>
---contents---
</table>
</td>
</tr>

Note : Set the height and width of the outer table to 100%.

Hope this helps. :)

Table height percentages will definitely work in IE but... last I checked... not with Netscape.

CuteFTP Pro's HTML editor rocks for making tables on a fly.

You can force NN4 to work by using this script with a transparent gif set to 100% height.

Take a look at this thread.

You can do this with DHTML, look at the cross-browser link to se exambles on how to do it
