    Table - top align

    Hello,

    What is the tag to align text in the TOP of the table. I have 2 tables next to one another (within a bigger table), and I want both sides of the tables to have the text aligned to the top. What it does now, is if the one table (on the left) has less lines of text than the other table (on the right) - it moves the left sides tables data to the middel.

    Hope this makes sense

    You can also use style:

    Code:
    style="vertical-align: top;"
    It has more options, but sometimes it's a little hard to get right.

    Help.....

    Hello,

    Thanks for the replies, but I still cannot get it right. Here is what I mean to do. The
    right column will almost always have more "lines" than the left, but I want the left table's
    data to ALWAYS be on top - ie valign="top" - no matter how many rows are on the right.

    Thanks for the help.

    Code:
    <BODY>
<TABLE border="1">
<TR>
	<TD><TABLE  valign="top">
	<TR>
		<TD>Left Table</TD>
	</TR>

	<TR>
		<TD>Left Table</TD>
	</TR>

	</TABLE ></TD>
	<TD><TABLE>
	<TR>
		<TD>Right Table </TD>

	</TR>
		<TR>
		<TD>Right Table </TD>

	</TR>
	<TR>
		<TD>Right Table </TD>

	</TR>
	<TR>
		<TD>Right Table </TD>

	</TR>

	</TABLE></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
