resizing contentplaceholder

[mil111]

Hi,

Can anybody help me? I created master page (in table) with header, footer, left column and in the right column is contentPlaceHol der. Content on contentPlaceHol der is longer than the left column is. If I run the page left column resizes according to content in contentPlaceHol der, and I don't want that. How I can set left column on fixed size so that only contentPlaceHol der resizes. I tried with <div> and <asp:panel> but it doesn't seems to work or I did something wrong?
Thanks!

ContentPlacerHo lder itself does not render any html, so it may be sth wrong with your layout, I think the layout should be sth like this:

<div id="head" class="head"></div>
<div id="footer" class="footer"> </div>
<div id="left" class="left"></div>
<div id="main" class="main"><a sp:ContentPlace Holder ID="MyContent" runat="server" /></div>

then you can add css to ensure your left div is fixed size
