There's a huge problem to your solution, Jim. It doesn't work. I want this
table to be able to accomodate any amount of text that I put into it. If
you try putting all the <BR>'s that I used to test it, your code falls
apart.
The reason is that you're code assumes that the bottom left cell will have a
height of 300. If the text goes beyond that, then both Explorer and Firefox
say "Screw it, this data is inconsistent - I'm just going to format the
height however I want"
I need the top left cell to have a height of 170 and the bottom left cell
should remain un-set so that it can stretch to accomodate my text.
