Setting the table height to 100% in XHTML 1.0

[marek_mar]

I would like to set the height of a table to 100% of the page. I've done it in unnamed HTML (no doctype). I just want to know how can I do this in XHTML. I use the CSS code:

table.main {
	position: absolute;
	height: 100%;
	bottom: 0px;
	border: 0px;
	border-spacing: 0px;
	table-layout: fixed;
	border-collapse: collapse;
}

If I have any errors in it I will be glad if you point them out.

For percentages to work in the height property, you need to see to that the containing element has a defined height.

Thanks. This helped (it looks like it supposed to look) but can body have the attribute height (in css)?
