I'm using a layout table to create a background that can be used for
various content on a content management server-based website. My
problem is that the table-design does not behave properly:

I want [1:2] to adjust its length to the title, NOT by the length of
[2:2], but it does and it always gets too long. Instead, I would prefer
[2:4] to adjust its length to [2:2].

Psedo code below



<TABLE fixed width>

<TR>

[1:1]<TD background=image of CORNER does not tile | fixed size></td>

[1:2]<TD background=image of border tile:x | fixed height>
Title(undefine length, got max)</TD>

[1:3]<TD background=image do not tile| fixed size> </TD>

[1:4]<TD background=image of border tile:x | fixed height Length of
cell is depending on length of "A lot of text"in cell [2:2] > </td>
[1:5]<TD background=image Of CORNER do not tile| fixed size></td>

</TR>

<TR>
[2:1]<TD background=image Of BORDER tile:y | fixed width></td>
[2:2]<td colspan =3>
<TABLE>
<tr>
<td FIXED WIDTH=size of pictures >
PICTURE
PICTURE
PICTURE
</TD>
<td fixed width, got max>
A lot of text
</td>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>

[2:3]<TD background=image Of BORDER tile:y | fixed width>
</td>

</TR>

<TR>

[3:1]<TD background=image Of CORNER do not tile| fixed size></td>

[3:2]<TD colspan=3 background=image of border tile:x |fixed height
length of cell is depending on text in cell below > </TD>

[3:3]<TD background=image Of CORNER do not tile| fixed size></td>

</TR>
