column filled up
I want to make a table for my website that has two columns, the left with a table in it, and the right with text, but because the font size changes on different computers, I want to make sure the table in the left column stays filling up the page vertically without having to worry about how much text and pictures are in the right column.
Is it possible?
Thanx
I should have a signature here, but Im too lazy to type one.

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

If you go to: http://www.crosswinds.net/~digiology/changeres2.html there is a sample of what my design is, and the text below explains how I want it.
What I want is the backround of the tables marked blue and green, to always take up 100% of the screen vertically, and for the height to stay the same as the height of the contents of the right cell. I would like to have NO GAPS at the end of the page.
In both netscape and iCab the table marked green only shows it at around 20 pixels in height.
Could you please tell me how it looks in different browsers?
What am I doing wrong?
Please help.
Thanx

I'm using IE5.5, on 15" monitor set to 800x600, and this is what I've got.
About 100 pixels below your Search button on the left of the nav bar (about 2 pixels from edge of window) there's a blue square of about 20 pixels.
About 250 pixels below that, on the right of your nav bar is a green square of about 20 pixels.
About 5 pixels below the bottom edge of that, on the left of the nav bar (about 2 pixels from edge of window) is a white block which reaches almost to the bottom corner of the green square.
I really like your navigation bar - good luck with your table! I'm dreaming of the day when I can draw my layout on a piece of paper and feed it into my monitor to show it what I want to display ....

Could I have a screen shot? I can't really visualize what you explained.
I think I may know the problem, maybe some browsers don't support table height.
The blue and green squares aren't a mistake they are just to mark the parts I was talking about in my last post.
Thanx
