    Trouble setting table height percentage, could CSS fix this?

    Hi,

    I am trying to set the height percantage of a table but not having any
    luck. The URL is:

    https://www.martynbissett.co.uk/oarsome/


    As you can see the home page doesnt reach to the bottom of the screen
    if you are viewing on at least 1024x678 res (you may also need to
    convert to full screen too). I have set just now the height using HTML
    (huh) but I have since learnd this is bad, bad, bad! It doesnt work
    anyway.

    Could this be sorted using CSS? How? If not, I know this may be off
    topic but could yous recommend any other way of doing this? Cheers

    Burnsy

      Good, mistake # 1: don't use tables for layout, mistake # 2 don't assume
      that you know the user's viewport dimensions: you don't, use a flexible
      layout.

      That's not a url, it's missing the required "http://" part.

      Hint: desktop size has nothing to do with viewport size, and your work
      should fit the viewport size, not the other way around.

          Um, once I increase the text size to something that's actually readable
          (200% zoom in my case), it certainly does reach the bottom of the
          screen, and my window size is somewhat larger than 1024x768 at the moment.

          What I find more troubling is the page not filling the *width* of my
          canvas. I've got all this empty space on the right, why don't you use
          it? Reading long columns of text with only a couple words per line gets
          rather tiresome pretty quickly, you know.
