DIV height 100%

I'm trying to step into the table-less design for our website, but I'm getting discouraged right away. In a first attempt to use the DIV function I'm trying to setup a page which contains multiple colums (which should looks like http://www.dcviews.com/links.htm).

The 100% height parameter when used in DIV seems to give different results across browsers. When used in Explorer and Opera it expands to 100% of the available windows space and multiple table scrollbars are added where needed. In Mozilla Firefox and Netscape it expands to 100% of the available data and a only single window scrollbar is added. To see the difference just look at this simplified example at: http://www.dcviews.com/height.htm using Explorer and Netscape.

My Question: how do I get multiple column scrollbars in Netscape ??
Thanks for any suggestions. Sebastian

Every person learning CSS hits this rather annoying snag. Bottom line is that you can't effectively use height 100%.

How sad...

Stumpy,
Thanks for you feeback, that's saving me a lot of digging. At the same time however, I have to conclude that is not possible to get multiple column scrollbars in Netscape as, as far as I know, using DIV is the only method to achieve this.
(Apart from FRAMES and IFRAMES ofcourse)
