Why doesn't FireFox expand or contract tables?

It works fine in IE7 but fails in Firefox.

Why do you need a nested table in that second cell? What happens if you
get rid of that nested table and put the blue borders around that td
instead?

BTW, you should clean up that code. You have an invalid <style> element
within the body. It belongs in the head section, plus it needs the
required type attribute.

Invalid code can be a cause of rendering issues in different browsers.
Validated code eliminates code errors as a source of problems.

Hi,

I thought this would be a simple problem to solve but 8 hours of Googling
and trying various suggestions hasn't yielded any working solutions so I'd
like to ask this group.

Here's a code snippet (see source of example url for a more complete
version)...

Two tables work independently of each other regardless of where they
are placed. So expecting two adjoining rows to expand together is not
gonna happen.
