css - Full height div inside td

Question

I want to achieve this thing:

Height of table row and grey line should be dynamic depend on contents in right column.

I've read in How to make <div> fill <td> height, so I tried with this http://jsfiddle.net/hyNWy/

But still no luck. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

With a colon? Also, to get your spacing:

<td style="position:relative;">
    <div style="width: 10px; position:absolute; top:10px; bottom:10px; background:grey">
    </div>
</td>

EDIT:

I don't think it's possible without specifying an explicit height. The solution in the original question that you pointed to does not actually work. position:relative does not seem to apply correctly to table cells. This could well be intentional and part of the spec.
