how to make full height cell in full height table in Internet Explorer

I have next html code

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
  <style type="text/css">
    html {height:100%;}body {height:100%;margin:0;}
    h1 {form-size:20px;margin:0;padding:20px;}
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <table style="width:100%;height:100%">
   <tr>
     <td>
       <div style="background-color:#f00;">
         <h1>This text should make height of this cell</h1>
       </div>
     </td>
   </tr>
   <tr style="height:100%;" id="row">
     <td style="background-color:#c0c;">
       <div style="height:100%;width:100%;background-color:#00f;color:#fff;">
         This cell should take all unused space of table
       </div>
     </td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td>
       <div style="background-color:#0f0;">
        <h1>This text should make height of<br> this cell</h1>
       </div>
     </td>
   </tr>
  </table>
</body>
</html>

It works perfect in all browsers - except IE, where blue div inside middle cell takes space only for text. May be someone know how to stretch it to whole free space inside table?

UPDATE: I Know that tables are bad in page-layout. if you can show me example of div layout which have top and bottom block with variable height and middle part which use all free space of browser window I will use it. I promise =)

Don't use tables for layout please,

Use Divs and CSS, It is considered a bad practice to use tables:
