I've looked through the forums here, but I can't seem to find any fix for my table problems...

I want the red colored cell to stay THAT HEIGHT consistently throughout my site, but when I add content that makes the page scroll, my table stretches vertically, making the red cell look like this:

Any idea how to fix this? <td height="255"> didn't seem to help me much...

[BTW: as the URL implies, this is just a test layout, which is why nothing's linked, etc.]

it's going to stretch regardless.

what you can do is instead of putting your content in that td (alive, dead, etc...), why don't you put another table within that column, set the height. So, even if the td stretches, the table inside it shouldnt.

Does that make sense?

^_^ It makes perfect sense~ Thank-you very much for the idea, I'll try that out. It sure sounds less messy than the weird absolute positioning that I was concocting in my head.

lol oh boy absolutes!

i think it will work, or we'll say i don't see why it wouldn't. Usually i test things but i need to go to bed! let me know if it works or not.

^__^ It worked perfectly~ <3 Sankyuu very much!
