Hello, I'm kinda confused to say the least...I have a layout using tables and everything works fine except I have some cell hight issues. I have tried everything I can think of and/or could find, but nothing seems to be working. Ok, let me give you a link (it's easier just to show then to give the whole coding): http://members.lycos.co.uk/vocalman82/layout.html Ok, so when I insert text into the center colum (please excuse all of the <br> tags as they are there just to show what I mean) both the left and right ones extend in height. How can I fix this? I have tried adding <....height="some%"...> but that doesnt work at all...maybe I am doing this wrong, wouldn't suprise me, lol. Thanks in adavance for any help given!!!

you seem to have a lot of rowspans that arent doing much.
perhaps go for a simpler route...

table, 1row 1cell, holding the banner image.

br

table, 1 row 3 cells, put cellspacing="5" into the table tag and put valign="top" into each td tag.

cell one will hold...
table (news)
br
table (news)

cell two will hold...
table (main content)

cell three will hold...
table (blah)

add in all your colors and borders and such as desired.

I didn't even think about using cellpadding instead of all those extra cells...I'll try it out!!! Thank you

I just tried that...and it worked great!! Thanks for that information....about using cellpadding instead of...lol, I meant to say cellspacing instead of padding...oh well, at least I know what I'm talking about... :lol:

no worries. glad it works for ya.
