Amazingly:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Fit to cell</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
img {
display: block;
width: 10em;
height: 100%;
}
td {
width: 10em;
padding: 0;
border: 0px solid #000;
}
table {border-collapse: collapse;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr>
<td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
Pellentesque augue.Lorem ipsum dolorLorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetuer adipiscing elit. Pellentesque augue.Lorem ipsum
dolorLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
Pellentesque augue.Lorem ipsum dolor </td>
<td><img src="stretch.jpg" alt="" /></td>
</tr></tbody></table>
</body>
</html>
works, or at least gives the illusion, only in Safari 2.0.4 on a
Mac.
I think you will really require scripting for the img to reliably
get the height of the left cell depending on the user font size
etc...
