html columns whose width automatically changes according to their content

[bigguy733]

I create dynamic HTML pages with 3 columns. Each column can contain a variable amount of text - from 0 to 1000 words. I want the text in the 3 columns look approximately the same height. So, I want to have the column widths change automatically according to the amount of text they contain.In HTML, this happens automatically in a table, when each cell has a single div of text, see the first table here:http://tora.us.fm/_script/demotables.htmlHowever, when the cells contain several divs, this doesn't work anymore, see the second table there. The leftmost column is very narrow and tall, instead of being wider and shorter. Adding a "width" attribute to the leftmost column (by clicking the button) shows the expected result. However, I do not know in advance what column should be what width.Is it possible to have it adjusted automatically?
