Expandig DIV or TD

1
Hi

My problem seems simple but I search for hours and cannot find the solution.

Problem when I use a table:

I have 3 cells. Top left a fix corner image. Left should be an expanding TD. On the right a TD with variable content (I do not know the length).

A CCCCC
B CCCCC
B CCCCC

the code I use
<table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td height="22"><img src="images/treeLT.gif" /></td>
<td rowspan="10"><p>c</p><p>c</p><p>c</p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td background="images/treeLL.gif" height="100%"><img src="images/treeLL.gif" /></td>
</tr>
</table>

The proplem is, that the height of A is expanding as well and does not keep its height.

I tried with CSS and DIV the same

<div style="border:1px solid red; width:500px;">
<div style="float:left; height:100%; border:1px solid yellow;">
<div><img src="images/treeLT.gif" /></div>
<div id='EXPAND' style="background-image:url('images/treeLL.gif'); height:100%; width:22px; border:1px solid blue;"><img src="images/treeLL.gif" border=1 /></div>
</div>
<div style="float:left">
<p>c</p>
<p>c</p>
<p>c</p>
</div>
</div>

The problem here, the div EXPAND (I put the id just to explain) keeps the heigth of 1 pixel (size of image). How can I make that EXPAND expands to the height of the content div.

Any ideas

Thanks
