If you create a table with a height of 500 and put a second table inside of 
it with a height of 100%, the second table should end up with a height of 
500 minus any cellspacing, cellpadding, etc. from the surrounding table.

The code listed below works in IE, but not in Netscape.  Netscape makes the 
inner table tall enough to hold the content and appears to ignore table, 
row, or cell height specifications.  Is this a Netscape bug?  Is there a 
work around?

<table height=500 width=300><tr><td bgcolor=black valign=top>
	<table height=100% width=100%><tr><td bgcolor=white>testing</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
