 Hello! I am using Dreamweaver and am making a site with a fairly big table in it. I am trying to get my text to get aligned in the upper left, but it always gets positioned in the middle of the cell.
<td align="left" valign="top">
Default for valign is 'middle'.

That's a mistake. This is a layout table, right? You can't know what window size, what resolution and at what font size your page will be displayed. The table will look small on some setups and huge on others. If you mean fixed size in both direction, i.e. fixed height too, then you are really in for trouble. Sooner or later something's gotta give.

Well, I mean the site will have pages with the same size table. There isn't very much information on each page but I want the size to be fairly consistent. Like 400 pixels.

And how do you make the actual table fit in the middle of the page? Please and thank you!
