Re: Cannot shrink my table cell!

I am using a rowspan on the left. The top right cell should contain a

However, the browser is making the top right cell too big, with the
result that the text in the bottom right cell starts too low. How can
this be resolved?

Obviously, I tried using height attribute, but the browser will not
listen to this. I also tried setting the height in the style sheet, no
luck.

[snip code which shows no sign of height attributes]

Since you didn't provide a URL, it's impossible to know why it isn't
working like you want. But just guessing: that height attribute - are
you sure you set it on both cells?

At your request, here is an URL: http://www.netadvies.nl/test.html

I discovered that FF does render it as desired, but IE does not. I did
not set the height on the bottom right cell, because I just want it to
be as small as possible, but the top of the bottom right cell should
touch the picture.

The two cells on the right need to fill up the height of the nav, and
apparently, IE divides the extra space over both cells, regardless of
the 80px height you set on the top right cell. Adding a larger height
to the content cell works, but obviously, that height is dependent on
the height of the navigation, which I think you don't want.

I don't know how the old table-layout designers did that really, I
always use divs and never have height problems ;-)
