oops... I didn't specify the first and second row/col heights to 70px and 80px. You'll have to add that in.

i would like to create a HTML page with 2 rows and 2 columns in this order:
1st row - 1 column - width:100% height:70px;
2nd row 1 column - width:100% height:80px;
3rd row - divided into 2 columns - the left column should be 230px width and strech in the height till the end of the screen. the right column should be the rest of the screen width and strech in the height till the end of the screen. now, in the left and right columns - i want the html to display a scrollbar if the content of the column is more the page height.

well, tried it again and what i get is that:
the 1st row seems to be ok
the 2nd row seems to be ok as well
about the 3rd row - when i have lots of text it's not making overflow but simply scrolling the page down. tried on both IE 7 and FF3.
now, sometimes i need the internal scrollbar in the 230px column, how can i do that?
I have changed the overflow to auto and inserted a div into the row 3 column 1. I also added height="100%" to both td elements in row 3 to attempt to correct the overflow issue in IE7 and FF3. Unfortunately, I cannot test in FF3 and IE7 at the moment. I will be able to test them in about 7 hours. Everything I have so far is tested in IE6.
"jumping up and down plus the left and right columns side are not always the same. any idea?"
I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain further?
