[thelist] trouble filling a TD in a Frame

Hi Everyone, take a look at this:

http://www.doctormusic.net/tom/frame.gif

Note the area surrounded in red. That is a frame in a frameset of 3
rows (60, *, 0 - frames are often hidden).

My problem is that I cannot get the Table and/or TD to fill out the
frame. I have set the table width to 100%, to 300 (the width of the
frame column) to 500, nothing pushes it over. I cannot set the
background color to match to make it work, because that messes up
other parts of the look and feel.

The code in that frame is this:

<body  bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0"
marginwidth="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0">

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"
class="sectionHeaderTable">
<tr valign="center">
   <td class="sectionHeaderRow" bgcolor="#336699" valign="middle"
height="23px"><span class="toolbarwithoutlink">&nbsp;Managed
By:</span></td>
</tr>
</tr>
   <td>
   <select name="toggleView" id="toggleView"
onchange="toggleFrame(this.selectedIndex)" style="width: 290px;">
	<option value="Graphic & Tree Views">Graphic &amp; Tree
Views</option>
	<option value="Tree View Only" selected>Tree View Only</option>
	<option value="Graphic View Only">Graphic View Only</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<table>

</body>

Here are the styles:

.sectionHeaderTable {border:0px solid #cacaca;
	height:23px;
	width:100%;
	color:#FFFFFF;
}

.sectionHeaderRow {
	background : #336699;
	height:23px;
	color:white;
	font-weight:bold;
}

This is code and style I inherited and have to make work. I don't see
the point of setting a table height to 23px, but I don't think it
affects anything.

Tom
