There is no height attribute for TABLE. Some browsers (including Netscape 
4.x) make a table with height="100%" the height of the viewport. This means 
if there is something - even whitespace - above the table the bottom of the 
table will be pushed below the viewport - because the table is the height 
of the viewport but starts below the top of it.

I can't think of any obvious solutions, but if you send a URL I'll look 
into it for you.
