This option is there in Dreamweaverl. It's hidden in the bottom section of the properties palette. Use the little arrow in the bottom right corner to show the bottom section. There's a drop-down there for "horiz" and "vert". Also a lot of other important options there.

td { vertical-align: top; }

I was wondering if you could give me a simple example of how you would set this up in a seperate .css file and in a nested table? If you have a few minutes? Thanks. Just got around to trying it.

I've looked at XHTML a little. I don't know. I think I'm like a lot of people. I already know about 20 apps and I'm now going into server administration and Final Cut Pro. I can't seem to keep up with everything. It's a rat race.

Have you thought of moving over to XHTML/CSS for everything...I'm just getting my head around it at the moment and it's great! Unlike tables tags were made specifically for layout.

If you're using CSS, and all your td cells need to be vertically aligned to the top position, this saves a boatload of code:

td { vertical-align: top; }

It also works pretty well everywhere (other options for vertical-align are not as well supported in older browsers, but top works just dandy).

Thanks busy that did the trick.

I'm using Dreamweaver and for some reason they either didn't add that option to the GUI editor. I knew that perameter way down deep in my aging brain but couldn't remember it and I wasn't sure it would validate but it does.

Thanks a bunch. I was thinking I might use a small flash movie that will resize itself to keep the site looking full but that's another day.

I didn't look at your code, but in the td cell of the navagation add valign="top" and all should be fine.

Forgot to add

Right now it only displays correctly above the footer on iExp/Mac 0S9.
