Why this height property in Firefox does not work?

I put a div into a table cell, and hope it can scroll if needed:

[CODE]
<table style=”height:200px;width:200px;table-layout:fixed”>
<tr><td>
<div style=”height:100%;width:100%;overflow:auto”>
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890<br/>

1234567890123456789012345678901234567890<br/>
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890<br/>
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890<br/>
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890<br/>
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890<br/>
</div>
</td></tr>
</table>
[/CODE]

In IE, it works as expected. But in Firefox, only horizental scrollbar is displayed, in vertical direction, the div is expanded. the property “height=100%” has no effect.

How to solve this problem?

@FangMar 25.2006 — This is more logical:&lt;div style="height:200px;width:200px;;overflow:auto"&gt;

@mlleeauthorMar 25.2006 — Thanks

The problem is, I cannot always suppose the table's height is 200px

In diffent context, It may be other px values, or percentage values

So I want to set the div's width and height to be 100%, so that it can change size automatically

But only width property tacks effect...

@felgallMar 25.2006 — A 100% high table is the default - a table high enough to display all of the content without a scrollbar.

Success!
