IE problems with rowspan

[Merlin]

Hi there,

I am trying to fix a table layout in IE. Looks fine in all other mayor
browsers. The problem occures if the right column is higher than the
left ones. Where the right one is a rowspan.

No matter what I try the left column height is way to high.

Maybe someone can see the error, while I cant.

This is the code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="652" border="1">
<tr>
<td height="28" width="307" align="left" valign="top"
class="content">one</td>
<td height="18" align="left" valign="top" class="content" >default</td>
<td width="184" align="left" rowspan="3" valign="top">right
column<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="27" class="content" valign="top">two</td>
<td height="27" class="content" align="right" valign="top">default</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="470" valign="top" colspan="2">this should be as high as
the right column minus column one and two</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanx for any suggestion.
