Ahh two more questions. Your "Scenario C" was very simular to what I
wanted... For future reference, how would you accomplish this with a
2x2 table? All Cells are simply fitting their data (height wise).
+----+----+
| A1 | B1 |
| +----+
| | B2 |
| +----+
| |
+----+
But it looks like this if B1 contains is lots of data
+----+----+
| A1 | B1 |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+----+ |
| |
+----+
| B2 |
+----+
And my 2nd question, nothing to do with above; Is there a CSS Property
that would tell the object not to wrap to the next line. Right now I
have
<asp:Menu style="float:left;" /><TABLE style="???"><tr><td>*Data1*</
td></tr><tr><td>*Data2*</td></tr></TABLE>
Problem is when the window shirnks the table wraps down under the menu
- I want it to just make a vertical scrollbar instead of wrapping.
Way I'm thinking is ???="position:absolute; margin-left:180px;". I
don't like setting margin-left:180px since it has to be updated each
time the font of the menu changes.
Thanks
