HTML/CSS Table Positioning Problem
Hi,

Have a problem with a left-hand table, the content of which is dragged down the page when the right-hand table grows in the same direction, say when filling it with content. I need to anchor that left-hand table in place but allow the right-hand table to stretch vertically.

Have tried absolute CSS positioning, spacers, extra tables, 100% height - nothing seems to work.

I've simplified the HTML code for readability, but the general layout is pretty much intact:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<table width="668" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td height="49" colspan="2" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="667" height="49">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td width="1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="147" rowspan="3" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="147" height="147">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td width="520" height="32" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="520" height="32">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="24" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="520" height="24">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="517" height="419" valign="top"><div align="center">RIGHT-HAND TABLE </div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td height="91"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="328" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="146" height="328" valign="top"><div align="center">LEFT-HAND TABLE </div></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="482">&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>



Thanks,

Dyb

So, where's the CSS? And why are you using tables? If you're using CSS you really don't need to.
