Default Need some help with image height.

I usually find myself pissed at Microsoft, but today I curse Firebird.

The problem is on a demo site I started working on last night at www.static.divergentlines.com . The story behind this project is a long boring one, but eventually it is going to be used as a demo for tightwad clients who want to see what they can get in a couple of days for a couple hundred bucks. Kind of a "bargain basement" site.

I'm trying to make an image be just as tall as the browser window (I'm not messing with margins). So I give an image height="100%" so that it will work in diffrent resolutions. IE6 handles it great, Opera7 does great, Firebird0.7 (and therefore I assume NN) stuffs it up. In higher resolutions, they all do what I want, but lower resolutions like 800x600 in Firebird will not. (I'm talking about the pinup girl on the far right of the images below...mods, she's fully clothed, lol)

High Screen Resolution in Firebird:


Low Screen Resolution in Firebird:


Low Screen Resolution in Opera:


I've been searching for an elegant solution using HTML for a while but can't find one. I want to avoid any more javascript than I am already using to keep the load times managable and want to avoid PHP to keep with the "cheapy" theme of this site.

Is there some simple solution that I am just not seeing, like all of a sudden you can't seem to remember how to spell "house" (haus?...haose?...hause?)?

I've got pictures of cyanide in a leather thong which I'll share with anyone who helps.
