That is what I see too.

In theory that small area should resize itself to the current
height of your document. I firefox it should extend to the bottom
of the page. If you make the window smaller it should shrink

There is other stuff in the page (like setting background on
the menu on the left)

Just did. Did not know of this very useful page.

two tags still fail height for tables (which seems to work ???)
and ALLOWTRANSPARENCY as tag needed for IE according to some
pages I have found (but it does not work anyway)

The issue is HOW can i get my images on the bottom shining through the
iframe on IE.
