Its not the same. The textarea does not resize to the parents height in this solution. Also it extends into the right half of the screen.

#12It has been a while since I have played around with HTML (do Java at work, mostly) but surely one can do tables in HTML 5, as in previous versions? If not, something wrong there, IMO...

#13Add this:
form { height: 100%; } td {height: 100%; }

#16You should probably ask this question on StackOverflow.com
Good suggestion. Will do that if no solution comes up on HN.

#17You need 6 div. one container. Everything goes in there. One header, one wrapper that holds the two big boxes and a footer.
Set HTML & body height to 100%. If you don't your container and other divs will likely ignore your height:100%
Everything else you need from there is float, position, clear, width and height. Should even be compatible with most versions of IE.
Sp yes it is possible and even simple with HTML and CSS. No need for tables.
