How to get this effect ?

[Richard A. DeVenezia]

Can't figure out how to do this.

I have a table with 2 columns and 7 rows. I want a paragraph to the right
of the table, so the bottom of the paragraph lines up with the bottom of the
table. After the paragraph I want normal flow again.

Just to be perfectly clear. It would be as if I had this third cell in row 1
<TD ROWSPAN="7" VALIGN="BOTTOM">Paragraph</TD>

And what if the paragraph is either too small or too large to fit as
you want it?

It's actually just a short sentence; "This is the pattern." But if even
that was 'too large to fit' I suppose I would want it under the table.

Is it a caption for the table? If so, mark it up as a caption, and
not as a paragraph.

Then, in css, you have a couple of choices:

(1) use display: table-row and table-cell on the table and caption
element. Does not work with MSIE.

(2) assign a width to the table (sensibly, in flexible units for
text); then use position to place the caption. This can produce a
fragile layout that breaks in certain situations.

With a url, we might have a better idea of the situation, and perhaps
a better solution.
