Table Cell scaling problem

[Matt McKay]

On the left, there is a 3x3 table that houses the menu.

On either side of the text area, there's a 1x3 table that houses part of the
orange curve, and in the middle cell there is a 1px high image which is the
tiling background, so that as I fill up the text cell, the orange bored
scales down.

My problem is, the left and right tables won't go to 100% height. Any ideas?
I've had this problem before.

I'm looking up a bunch of the sample pages now, and now understand how to
split a page into 2 columns for nav and content, with CSS.
How would I achieve what I want though, for this page? Wouldn't I need to
give the left and right bar for the menu absolute values? I can do that with
the table cell anyway.

Yes, I remember reading about it in alt.html.writers. If you need to
