How to stretch a short page down to screen bottom?

[metalive]

Good day!

I have a website with a simple table layout. On some pages, there is
only little text in my main content-<td> so the page/table ends half way
down the screen displaying the plain black backround. Is there a way
(preferably with CSS) to have short pages automatically stretch to the
bottom of the browser's display area?

Greetings

Add the following to your table:

style="height: 100%;"

Add the following to your table:

style="height: 100%;"

On its own that only works in quirks mode. In standards mode you need
to also set the height of the body and html elements to 100%.

Make them longer.
