In an earlier thread I had a situation where my news box was a fixed height in Firefox and stretched in IE. I am trying to get it so the news box is fixed height for both. In trying to accomplish this I made it so it stretches for both. Does anyone know how to make it so the news box stays a given height in both Firefox and IE?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Somethings not well formed with your html. It appears that the newsbox "column" is comprised of a handfull of table cells with no parent (or the parent is the entire page's table).

Try getting rid of these cells and adding a column to the left of the table that holds your content. Then you could add a seperate table within this column which you could control the height of.

P.S. You shouldn't use tables to layout websites. I know you probably don't want to hear that right now. :)
