How to set seperate heights for <td> ? I have table with one rows and 2 cells. In one of them there is more data, so it drags the other cell longer than it should be and that's ugly. I need something that automatically adjusts the cell height according to how much data it consists. How can I achieve this effect ?

The css for this is as follows, assign the class then place this in the style sheet.
.tablesize
{
width: auto;
height: auto;
}this should solve your problem, just make sure you do the class on each part of the table, such as
<tr>
<td class="tablesize"> </td>
<td class="tablesize"> </td>
</tr>if you dont know how to attach a stylesheet, there are numerous tutorials on this.
Thanks,

It did not fix my problem.
Check image in attachment, maybe it helps to understand what I need.
This is what I have. I need the second box to be with exact height of how much data it has inside.

I had them in divs before but I decided to go with tables cause it seemed to be more cleaner, but I guess I will switch back to divs cause I cant resize cells. Thanks for help guys!
