I’d like to show a div that has a background-color with the height and width set to 100% but no content. Is it possible to do that without putting a   inside?

<table style='width:100%'> <tr> <th>Header</th> <td><div id='foo'></div></td> </tr> </table>

  1. This seems to work in Firefox, Safari, IE6, & IE7.

    <html>     <head>         <style>             #foo{                 background:  #ff0000;                 width:  100%;                 height:  100%;                 border:  2px dashed black;             }         </style>     </head>     <body onload=''>         <div id='foo'></div>     </body> </html>
