           Summary: child table column has no background color because
                    parent table height is not defined

        OS/Version: Windows XP

II Issue: The leftmost blue column has white space

III Conclusion: The code has 2 tables. The parent  table has the blue border.
Within one of the <td> of the parent table, there's another table with the cyan
background. The issue here is that the <td> in the child table (red background)
does not span the entire height of the parent table. This is because the height
of the parent table is not defined even though the <td> of the parent table
that contains the child table has a height defined (for this case 100%)

FF: ok
Opera: not ok
