This is more of an HTML/CSS issue and not really a maps issue.

Many of the examples depend on the browser rendering the page in
quirks mode (without a doctype). This allows the "height: 100%" styles
to work without any additional CSS or JavaScript. There are several
threads that address this in this group both from a CSS only
perspective and by using JavaScript. The table example is also closely
related as the table has no height or width set.
