Troubles with Tables

Alright well, I have my little menu on the left side of the page. I made it out of a table. There are two columns, 1 left column and 1 right. The left one is divded into 3 rows so I can fit the three pictures on there. The right one is only one row. I left the height for the top and bottom row of the left column open so that the height can change if the content is change. But the middle row i want it to be constant so i set a specific height for it. The problem is whenever height for the right column changes, the middle row on the left column also changes even though the height is set. The two other columns are left alone. Check out the picture and please get back to me.<!--content-->it will help if you post your html code or link to the page, but it sounds like you need to separate tables instead of one two columned table, although it might be possible with one table. Maybe if you add a forth row in the left column and fix the height of the top three rows, the forth row will expand as the right column expands saving your design from the mess you are getting now.<!--content-->The url is at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://24.78.55.100/test.php">http://24.78.55.100/test.php</a><!-- m -->. Thanks a lot for helping. I dont know how to do it with separate tables because they cant go side by side can they?<!--content-->There are no errors in the code to fix, relating to the table: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2F24.78.55.100%2Ftest.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&sp=1&outline=1&verbose=1">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... &verbose=1</a><!-- m --> The code is doing what you asked it to. It just needs a recode to do something different. Although a lot of people dislike such things, a table within a table would solve the problem.<br />
<br />
The alternative is to use CSS and positioning instead, but that requires a lot more learning.<!--content-->Just tried table within a table, or well my interpretation of what you mean but it still doesnt work. Anybody else know an easy way to fix this?<!--content-->For a table within a table the whole:<br />
<br />
<table> <tr> <td> ... </td> </tr> </table> <br />
<br />
code goes inside the table row <td> .. </td> of the higher order table.<!--content-->
