Height Percentage and other things

#1

Ok, I'm using dreamwaver 4 and the trial for MX. So, here is what is up.

In D4, if I make a table height to 100%, it stays that way even if it is
empty. If I do this in MX, when I preview... the table doesn't stay at 100%.

Also I noticed that in MX, when I edit page properties and such that it uses
the style tags. Is there is anyone to change this.

D4 Does it like this:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" background="images/sidebg.jpg"

In MX it does this instead:
<style type="text/css">

</style></head>

So, why is this? Can I change how MX does the code? And what is up with the
height percentage?

Thanks

For the css code do this. Go to Edit, Preferences, General, then uncheck the
box says use CSS instead of HTML tags. That should help you. And gosh, I
don't know what's up with the height percentage.

Because it's invalid code. Take a look at a recent thread here:
