If we have a web page with a main table into a layer "<div align=center>" for
example, with height="100%", and we have three rows and second row with
height="100%", the table does not fit to the height of the window, and Internet
Explorer fits the table. It's correctly?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The next table should fit into the window:
<div align="center">
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
	<td>Top cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td height="100%">Middle cell fits in Explorer</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>Bottom cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

If we quit <div> tag the table fits to window, but not with <div> tag.

Width is a deprecated attribute for table headers and data cells but not for the
table itself.
See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.1
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.5.1.1
Invalid? I shall leave this alone for now.

I meant height instead of width.

Hmm, I wonder if this bug is a dupe of bug 10212 ("Height: 100% does not work
when nesting tables"). Same issue (table inside <div>) is mentioned there in
comment #12.

Ah, the div has no height set - so the 100% height set to the table is
ignored... Dupe of bug 41656?
