autostretch madness

[serialRei]

so ive been using DW fora few years and all of a suddenive come across this
madness wheni started using DW04, autostretch on the height (100%) code doesnt
work on tables anymore .. im guess i now have to make it relative to the
browser window (which never had to be done) but i dont know the best way to go
about that .. if anyone have any suggestions could you let me know im going
insane over making this top to bottom table.
(table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0")
note this code works on older IE versions but do not work on safari or
anyother broser. if anyone else has had this problem could i get a little help.

Here's the deal.

A doctype on an HTML page tells the browser how to render the page. If
there is no doctype, or if there is an invalid one, the page is rendered
in quirks mode. If there is a valid doctype, the page is rendered in
standards mode.

DMX (and earlier) inserted a broken doctype on the page (i.e.,
functionally equivalent to no doctype). Earlier versions inserted NO
doctype. Hence, all these pages are rendered in quirks mode.

In quirks mode, the browser makes an attempt to render invalid HTML.
Not all browsers attempt the same rendering - so you will see a variety
of differences, comparing one browser to the next on the same page.

In standards mode, the browsers all render the same (so they say - but
in practice, while not true, it's much more uniform).

Table height is invalid HTML. It always has been - it was never a part
of HTML's specs.

Browsers in quirks mode will try to render table heights. Browsers in
standards mode willl not.
