Heigth and table issues

I am trying to make a table that will be 100% wide and 100% high for one page.
Basically, I set the backfground of the page to a certain color and place the
one column/one row table at 100% wide with a different color background. I am
trying to get the page to almost look like its framed, with each side equal to
each other. How do you set the bottom of the page (or should I say, the
height of the page) so it fits like the other sides?

Here's the deal.

A doctype on an HTML page tells the browser how to render the page. If
there is no doctype, or if there is an incomplete one, the page is rendered
in quirks mode. If there is a complete doctype, the page is rendered in
standards mode.

DMX inserted a broken doctype on the page (i.e., functionally equivalent to
no doctype). Earlier versions inserted NO doctype. Hence, all these pages
are rendered in quirks mode.

In quirks mode, the browser makes an attempt to render invalid HTML. Not
all browsers attempt the same rendering - so you will see a variety of
differences, comparing one browser to the next on the same page.

In standards mode, the browsers all render the same (so they say - but in
practice, while not true, it's much more uniform).

Table height is invalid HTML. It always has been - it was never a part of
HTML's specs.

Browsers in quirks mode will try to render table heights. Browsers in
standards mode willl not.

Geddit?

Table height is invalid and depending on the doc type you use - will not
render cross browser.
take a look here for a better explanation and how to possibly make it work:
