also, height is not a legal attribute of table so netscape won't know
what to do with it. thats not because netscape sucks, it's because
it's not supposed to do anything.

you're better off trying to position it w/ css:
<div style= "position: absolute; bottom: 0px">footer text</div>

NN4 will choke on this too, but IE5+ and NN6 should all get it right
