Rails spinoffs - Feb 2007 - How to set the height of a table to 95% of the window size?

Rails-spinoffers:

Okay, try it the simple way:

    x.table :id   => :someTable,
            :width  => ''100%'',
            :height =>  ''95%'',  #  25ex

(x is a Builder::XmlMarkup...)

the 25ex works, but it wastes room. I want the table to behave like
the client area of a desktop app.

So try it the elaborate way:

    x.script do
      x << ''$("someTable").setStyle({height:
(get_height() * 0.95)+"px"});''
    end

And get_height() returns 725, the correct number. Its contents appear below.

And that doesn''t work either. What am I missing?

  function get_height()
  {
    if (self.innerHeight) // all except Explorer
    {
      return self.innerHeight;
    }
    else if ( document.documentElement &&
              document.documentElement.clientHeight )
      // Explorer 6 Strict Mode
    {
      return document.documentElement.clientHeight;
    }
    else if (document.body) // other Explorers
    {
      return document.body.clientHeight;
    }
    else
      return 500;
  }

My bad! 95% started working again; please don''t ask why it stopped. ;-)
