Chat application

Hi guys,

I've designed a chat window for a chat application using tradutional
tables and dirty code because I haven't been able to do it using pure
CSS. Do you think this would have been possible to create it using 100%
tableless code and have it to adapt according to the window dimentions?

Yes, it can be done reasonably easily.

Thanks. How can you strech the layout all the way down?

Try this.

Works in perfectly in Opera and Firefox. There's some foolishness with
the vertical scrollbar in IE6, which caan probably be eliminated with
the help of Google and some patience. Opera and Firefox are in standards
mode, IE6 is in quirks mode.

Of course this is a static page; there's no application behind it to
actually do your chat.

Thank you very much jack...
I see... This can't be done in XHTML, can it?

Why not? That code is in essence equivalent to XHTML code.

On the other hand, why would you want to use XHTML? For the time being,
that will only cause you headaches, mainly due to deficiencies in the
ability of Microsoft browsers to consume properly-served XML.
