Misunderstanding #1:
In terms of what your browser does with the code, XHTML is treated
exactly the same as plain HTML, so a problem you are having in XHTML will not go away simply because you switch to HTML. If a switch to HTML appeared to cure it, you made some other change too or perhaps changed something else when you switched doctypes.
Misunderstanding #2:
Height works perfectly well, but if you quote a height as a %age, logic should have you asking "100% of what?". That's what a browser asks when it comes upon your instruction, so if the block you want to be 100% of something does not sit inside another block, not unreasonably, browsers treat the viewport (ie the visible area of the screen) as the container.
Anyway, whether that question occurred to you or not, the answer to it provides the basis for the various solutions people have already pointed you to.
