Well, often I hear that giving the body a height of 100% allows for DIVs of varying
percentage heights.
What *I* have found to work however is simple using absolute position (with top, right,
left, or bottom) and then applying the height of the DIV. In that fashion I get 100% DIVs
with no problem.
Another thing that I think actually may be of more use to you is:

Ah, OK. It was naive of me to think it was "just a simple test".
Also, I would reserve some of the awe for others more deserving of it. I may not be the
best candidate for praise. Thank you nonetheless.
Be well, Jeff.
