Fixing Row Heights

[Andrew Ayre]

I have the following table layout:

---------------------
| A | E |
----- |
| B | |
----- |
| C | |
----- |
| D | |
| | |
| | |
---------------------

I want cells A, B and C to always be 21px in height. I want cell D to vary
in height according to the height of the table.

Problem: If E has too much text in it, cells A, B, C and D are all increased
in height to match. I only want cell D to increase in height.

Do you know how I can solve this problem? I've tried using height="21" in
the td tag and using min-height, max-height and height in a CSS class for
the td tag but it didn't work.

I hope you can see the above diagram - M$ Outlook Express doesn't seem to
want to cooperate. If you can't then basically it is a table where the first
column has rows A,

B, C and D. The second column has row E (rowspan="4")

Thanks, Andy
