This is probably a basic question but seems to be hard for me to find.

How do you tell a cell to take up all the vertical space it can? (By
default the 1st cell does it but I want the 3rd to). style="height:
100%;" doesn't work and can't find a "vertical-align:justify;"
option. Below is what my table looks like.

1 2
3 4
5 6

1/3/5 are all merged with rowspan=2. Cell 2 has to fit its data.
Cell 4 has to be right under Cell 2 always. I want Cell 6 to take up
any extra room with blank space so that Cell 1 or 4 arn't stretched
(Cell 4 has special background).


Note:
1 2
3 4

This situation would also be fine (1/3 merged). It works the way I
want it to when Cell 2 is higher than the data in 1/3. But when data
in Cell 2 is small then Cell 2 gets stretched which I'd like to
advoid.

Thanks
