Expanding A Table's Row Height

I have an asp webpage that loads a few records from a recordset into a
table (each recordset a row). The table has 2 columns, the first
column is sort of a menu with menu items and a background color. The
second column contains the rows (ie. recordset rows).

When there are 1 or 2 rows in the table, I would like to expand the
height of the table to fit the height of the browser control, so that the
first column's background fills up the whole length.
