    I am in need of some help trying to get my table to format the way i need it to. Here is my site that i am talking about.

    http://www.wildmaninc.com/blog/blog2.html

    I am trying to get the sides of the "bubble" to stretch if the user types a lot of text.

    Could someone tell me how I can achieve this?

    Thanks! ;)

    First of all - I would make this three divs instead of tables.

    first div has the background-image of the top part, second div has the repeating background of the sides (repeat-y) and the bottom div has the bg image of the bottom image. this can expand to infinity, and is smaller markup :)
