Thanks. The new doctype changed the output but, as you guessed, the effect is interesting but not what I wanted. The panels collapsed to minimum size.
My basic problem is layout. I just need to nest panels without unexpected results. I've given up on auto-resize. I'll either write code to do that myself or just deliver an app that doesn't resize. Yes, in this sample I was trying for a HP with 2 cells, one 30% and one 70% and full height. FWIW, I think I see the problem with the above code. The height that I requested for the logPanel was two pixels too tall for it's parent panel, basePanel. That forced basePanel to grow in height by two pixels which led to the need for the vertical scroll bar. Unexpected behavior but if this holds true in more elaborate tests then at least I can code around it.
