Browsers seems to have problems calculating the left column to be 100% tall.
A border on the 'height: 99%;' <td> for left column shows that it only
expands as tall as the content pushes it in Safari, Opera and IE/Mac,
and they don't change anything on reload.
Firefox has similar problems, but seems to be able to calculate "a
height" on reload.
All height-values in percentages on nested <table> / <td> are of no use
when parents lack proper height - as browsers see it, as there's nothing
to calculate percentage-heights from.
This is a normal problem with heavily nested tables IIRC (it's been a
long time). Such heavy nesting may be valid enough, but it isn't making
it easy for browsers to render as intended.
IE/win is a master when given heavily nested tables, but how much that
is actual calculations and what's "pure guesswork" and/or
"error-recovery in overdrive" is unclear. IE/win tends to expand
anything that can be expanded when served tables - especially since
<table> is triggering 'Layout' by default.
A more general - unrelated - styling-problem is the use of 'min-height'.
Using tables means _all_ 'width' and 'height' _are_ minimum dimensions
anyway, so it doesn't make sense to declare 'min-height' or 'min-width'
on tables.
