HTML question about tables...?

Question

When working with tables in Dreamweaver, any text I type in a cell automatically centers itself in the cell if the cell is longer than one row.

How do I keep the text at the top of the cell?

Answer 1

In either the td or tr tag (can't remember which) set the valign to top.

Answer 2

You will have to change the default to top.  I am thinking you might find it in cell properties.  I am not at the pc.  I am at a mac right now.  Anyway, learned this in my webdesign class recently, but have played with so many different programs lately that I can't recall which this one was unless I was right working with it.  Might even be Front page.

Answer 3

Use <td valign="top"></td>

Answer 4

oh i had the same problem, but when i edited it with notebook, it didnt do that, idk what to say, but i can say i had the same problem with dreamweaver, but my dad has done tables professionally, so i just asked him sorry

Answer 5

Use the following code:

<td style="vertical-align:top">Text</td>

Some will advise you to use valign.  This is invalid and deprecated as of the HTML 4.01 Strict standard.  Use CSS (as my example above).

Answer 6

<td valign="top" align="left">put tect here</td>

with 'valign' being the verticle, and 'align' being the horizontal alignment you'd like to use.

Answer 7

use the

<tr><td valign="top">

asdfasdfasdf

<tr><td>

or

<table valign="top">
