I have a table laid out something like this simplified example:

<table>
        <tr>
                <td>data</td>
                <td rowspan=4>Data</td>
        <tr>
        <tr>
                <td>data</td>
        <tr>
        <tr>
                <td rowspan=2>data</td>
        <tr>
</table>
I am working on the calculation that results in the unnecessary rowspan in
the third row.  But I don't think that applies to this issue.

This results in a display such as this:
(I hope this comes through clearly)

|------|------|
| data | data |
|------|      |
| data |      |
|------|      |
| data |      |
|------|------|

Now the problem is that the data in the right column is several lines long,
and is sometimes longer then the data in the rows in the left column.  When
this happens, I would like the height of the top two cells to remain
constant, and the bottom cell to expand to match the height of the right
column.  I've tried setting the height with both the height parameter in the
<td> tag and the CSS height property.  Neither seemed to have much effect.
The three rows on the left are spacing themselves equally.  This needs to
work in our IE5.5+ intranet environment.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thank You
