User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Build Identifier: (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 <table><tr><td valign=top>Top</td></tr><tr><td valign=bottom>Bottom</td></tr></table> should generate a page with the word Bottom at the bottom of the page. <form><table><tr><td valign=top>Top</td></tr><tr><td valign=bottom>Bottom</td></tr></table></form> this won't do what is expected. The table is contained in the form and the browser calculate the size of the form. Causing the word "Bottom" appears at the upper half of the screen. Both Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird has the problem IE, Netscape 4.79 doesn't have this problem. Because of this, most asp.net pages won't display correctly because they are warpped in <form runat=server id=form1> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.<form><table><tr><td valign=top>Top</td></tr><tr><td valign=bottom>Bottom</td></tr></table></form> 2. 3. Actual Results: The word bottom appears at the upper half of the browser Expected Results: The word bottom should appear at the bottom
Could you attach an HTML testcase showing the problem? I suspect you meant to say that the TABLE element had a height="100%" attribute.
Yes, the <table> has height=100% <html> <head <title>Home Page</title></head> <body> <form> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100%"> <tr> <td valign="top" >Top </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom">Bottom</td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>
Summary: Form tag was considered as a visual component, causing valign to fail → percentage height quirk for tables doesn't work through form elements
This is already filed (and possibly resolved wontfix).
