doing something wrong or this just won't work.

I'm trying to create a table that's the height of the browser viewport.

Tables are for marking up tabular data, not to create a layout.

[snip bogus code]

Don't post code to the group, upload a minimized test case with snippets
of real content, then post the url.

The layout you want isn't supported by IE, the nearest you could get is
with an absolutely positioned footer, but the content would disappear
behind it without always producing a scrollbar. But even in proper
browsers such a layout would cause a major usability issue: "in
document" scroll bars are a usability nightmare.

So the correct answer to wanting a footer to always remain visible is:
stop wanting that.

Wow. Yes I did look, wise guy, but didn't see applicable solutions.

Geez-- get a better attitude in the new year.
