table heights

[PhilgB]

First of all im using strict dtd. Secondly, i know height=100% has been disabled for tables. Now, what Im trying to do is...
I have a table with, for examples sake, 3 rows and any number of columns.

I want the three rows to be a maximum of 20px and a fourth row, filler row, to fill the rest of the space. When I do not specify any heights or only specify the 20px heights, they all end up being the same height. When I specify "100%" to the filler row, its height becomes the height of the table (including the first three rows = too big).

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

its always aesthetics :)
yeah, there isnt even anything after the table. its just an interface for an organizer and im using enought js as it is just to place everything. oh well thanks again!

i just thought that if the other tds have a height specified, the last td would take up the rest of the room.
is there a way to count how many tds are in a table?

I assume you are using rowspan and colspan for the table.
