I do not have an answer about what is happening, or which browsers are
correct, if any, about rendering.
IE6: does not expand to 100%
Opera7: does not expand to 100%
Firefox1.0.7: first row expands
There is something odd about using percentage to set the height of
elements contained in a table cell. Firefox obviously does it inconsistently.

Using non-relative units like px or em eliminates the problem.

While that is one work around, this is just another example of Mozilla
lagging behind in some areas. ACtually I've encountered nuemrous CSS
related bugs (the code actually works fine in the latest FireFox if you
dont use style sheets, but use the actual height/width attritues
instead.

when it coems down to it, Maxthon (http://www.maxthon.com) is far
superior in many ways. It's esstenially IE with all the features, like
AD/Popup/ActiveX/Script/download-control, support for various plugins
(native IE plugin support can be completely disabled, so you can just
use the Maxthon plugins.) The ad blocker works in side by side with the
popup blocker in IE (they are seperate.)

Best of all, one doesn't have to worry about bugs like those found in
fireFox. don't get me wrong, they've coem a HELL of a long way. I just
dislike the bugs I'm always coming across when I'm developing web
pages. I just wanted to present a viable alternative, and that is
Maxthon.
