Getting menu tables right for IE using dreamweaver 8

browser problem?

[Kneek]

Hello,

I have made a site (with dreamweaver 8) with a table with 3 main columns. The first/left one is for the menu/navigation and has a lot of rows, while the second and third only are 1 cel. Here's the problem: when viewed in internet explorer the cells of the menu get stretched when there is alot of content in the column next to it. I've put an example online here: <snip>
With firefox and netscape the menu cells don't stretch and are as I want them to be, only IE gives problems. I already have set the height for every individual cell in the left column, except for the last one, so that that one can stretch.. I hope someone understands what I mean and knows what to do..

Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem. I hope someone posts an answer.If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

Make that first column a single row, and nest a multi-row table inside it. Put your navlinks in the rows of the nested table.

Or, forget the nested table. Make the first column one row, make your navlinks out of a list, and put the list in the first column. Then style the list the way you want it.

Sonjay, thanks a lot! This was the answer I was looking for. Sometimes it's so simple... Thanks again!
