I'm trying to create a table layout using the following:

Image Image
Image Image

It should look like: 

1 | 2  2
1   1 | 2

Instead it looks like: 

1    | 2  2
1  1 | 2

Since there are no rows with all 3 cells the middle cell vanishes (same effect using display:none).

A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.

You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
