Markup as follows:
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"> </td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
Generally speaking, assigning widths to table columns is an all-or-nothing
affair.
When you assign a percentage value to height or width you are referring to
the height or width of the PARENT element... I can't think of a situation
where 'td height="100%"' would actually make a difference in the way the
cell thus marked up would render.
