Thanks for posting this example. From what I can gather, it looks like you have to put specific content into the table cells to force the browser to read the height of the row.

While this is a nice workaround, it's definitely not ideal e.g. if you're making a template and you have no idea what the content of the cells is ultimately going to be (depending on where the template is used and who puts what content in it)...

[For reference, in anyone else has this problem and happens across this thread in the future, I also posted this over on stackoverflow and was recommended a similar markup-based approach: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17514828/html-table-staggered-cell-merging]

But, I think this answers my question well enough for my purposes at the moment. Thanks!
