Hi again,

I appreciate all the advice I've gotten so far.

My question this time is whether there's a way to make the row height
equal to the column width when you don't know in advance what you'll be
using.

The content of each cell is text.

Thanks if anyone has any ideas for me. I'm starting to think the answer
is no. I've experimented with cellpadding, but that adds space in all
four directions.

Hi John,

There is no easy way as far as I know.

One way I can think of is to use a fixed width font (such as Courier
New) and then count the amount of pixels each letter takes up (in width)
and use that as height (by multiplying by the number of letters).

This solution would require that you use some form of dynamic scripting
language such as php, asp or cgi.
