hope: Art of a woman writing from tour poster (the money shot.)
you know when you're doing tables and if somethings bigger in, say, the first column, the adjustment the second column will make will be to put whatever's smaller in the second column into the middle of it? instead of the top?

and you know how you fix it by nesting tables and putting a row at the bottom of the nested table in each td with its height="100%" so that it nudges everything else up to the top, regardless of which column has taller content?

well. WHY THE FRICK DOESN'T THIS WORK IN FIREFOX? i've even tried putting a transparent image file with height="100%" on it into the tr, but it still doesn't work. firefox doesn't seem to like to recognise the percentages when it comes to tables like this. it looks/works fine in IE.

HELP.

eta: okay, absolute positioning via css seems to be working for it. o_O is absolute positioning tetchy in firefox for anyone else? why was i under the impression that it was?
