Maybe what the real problem is that you are using a table for layout
when you should be using something else. If you rowspan the left column
cell and the right column you add data that expand the cells vertically
it is "natural" table behavior for the left column rowspan'ed cell to
also expand vertically

Now looking into my crystal ball I see that the left cell you put the
word "menu" so chances are you have a *list* of menu items. If it a list
you should use a list! If you want it side by side with your data then
float it left. Google "2 column css layout template"
