hello,

in IE6 and NS7, when using a DTD (loose or strict), i cannot set the height of a div to a percentage:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN&quot; &quot;<div style=&quot;height:95%;border=1px solid red;&quot;>div</div>

or
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;<div style=&quot;height:95%;border=1px solid red;&quot;>div</div>

if i leave the DTD off, it works fine. am i doing something wrong?

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); }
