Using ROWSPAN and fixed height TD

Vitabiz Productions Ltd

Hello,

I'm currently experiencing some problems with the following code:

<TABLE border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<TR> <TD BACKGROUND="images/menu.gif"
WIDTH="170px" HEIGHT="372px" VALIGN=TOP> </TD>
<TD BACKGROUND="images/content.gif"
WIDTH="630px" VALIGN=TOP rowspan="2">
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
Some text lines Some text lines Some text lines 
</TD>
</TR>
<TR> <TD BACKGROUND="images/menurepeater.gif"
WIDTH="170px">Some text</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

The menu.gif has a width of 170 and a height of 372. But when I set
the height of the TD to 372px, it still can be changed by the amount
of text in the content.gif-td. That's not allowed, because I want that
TD fixed, and the other TD (menurepeater.gif) should repeat the image
depending the amount of text.

Somebody ever experienced the same problem?

menu.gif = 170x372
content.gif = 630x372 (may repeat)
menurepeater = 170x1

Sincerely,
Tim aka Vitabiz

Mr. B.

Tim,

The problem is that a table cell will get as big as it needs to in
order to accomadate the content you place within the td tags.

If you don't want the menu.gif to repeat at all, you could use inline
style sheets to set that.
<td style="background-image: url(images/menu.gif); background-repeat:
no-repeat;">

Furthermore, you could set the background of the table using css to
repeat only vertically and position it to the left so that the
menurepeater.gif shows up directly beneath the menu.gif that does not
repeat.
<table style="background-image: url(images/menurepeater.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y; background-position: left;">

If you're still having problems with it, and can't find an answer let
me know. I don't browse these newsgroups very often so send me an IM
through any of the IM programs located at:

I'll walk you through it if you want, but I'm not quite sure what you
want it to look like so you'd have to clarify for a better answer.
