firefox and tables

hey, im not sure if any of you are aware, but firefox has trouble seeing tables with both width and height as a percentage value… for example if i have
<table>
<table width=83% height=100%>
content la la la</table>
<table width=83% height=100%>
another conent thing</table>
<talbe width=83% height=100%>
3rdcontent></table></table>

then it will only show one table taking up the entire height / width value of all the tables.

is there like a script or something to fix this? like the script for IE that makes it so it doesnt see w/e as spaces? ex. at: [url]http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/[/url]

@KravvitzNov 11.2005 — The height attribute for <table> is not part of HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.x.

Try using CSS.
