Make a table fill the entire window

css, html, internet-explorer, stylesheet

Solution

You can use position like this to stretch an element across the parent container.

<table style="position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;">
    <tr style="height: 25%; font-size: 180px;">
        <td>Region</td>
    </tr>
    <tr style="height: 75%; font-size: 540px;">
        <td>100.00%</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Problem

How can I make a HTML table fill the entire browser window horizontally and vertically? The page is simply a title and a score which should fill the entire window. (I realise the fixed font sizes are a separate issue.) ``` <table style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"> <tr style="height: 25%; font-size: 180px;"> <td>Region</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 75%; font-size: 540px;"> <td>100.00%</td> </tr> </table> ``` When I use the above code, the table width is correct, but the height shrinks to fit the two rows of text. I'm likely to be forced to use Internet Explorer 8 or 9 to present this page.
