Tables (height, width, etc.)

Okay, just when I figure I got all the table quirks down, something has to
come along and snip my butt. I have something like the following:

<table>
<tr><td>

</td><td rowspan=2>
	<table height=100% width=99%>
	<tr><td>

	</td></tr>
	</table>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>

</td></tr>
</table>

That basically outlines something like the following:

------------------
|        |        |
----------        |
|        |        |
-------------------

And in the cell on the right, I have a table that I want to span the entire
height of the table. I've done similar things in the past, setting the
height of a table to 100% and then aligning things to the top or bottom,
etc. But in this case, what keeps happening is that the table only goes as
far down as content dictates, not the whole width, splitting space between
it's cells.

Does this make sense (the description of what I'm trying to do?)
