Setting table height to AUTOMATIC?

[LucyL]

Hi,
I have a web page that has two tables. One acts as a side menu bar. The second holds page content. I have the height of the side menu set. When the page content is large, the side menu falls short. Is there a way of setting the height of the side menu to automatic, so that it will never fall short of the main table?

Hi,

If you do not set height, the content will always fit in as the table will adjust to it.

Thanks Lillu, but what is happening is the table with the content is expanding alright. However, the side menu looks strange, since it does not expand with the second table. I am wondering if there is a way that I could set the height of the side menu table to whatever height the content table will expand to. Is this possible?

You want the side menu table to stretch to the height of the page? Easy:

<table style=&quot;height:100%&quot;>
