Tables!!! HELP!!!!!

[6259420]

Hello,

I'm sure this is very simple, but I have no idea how to do it. I have a page designed around a big table. I have three columns, the two outside ones are links to other parts of the site and the center one contains the main information. On pages where the main information is longer than the links on both sides, it centers them vertically. If I have a very long page in the center, the links are way down in the middle of the page. How can I make the links stay at the top no matter how long the page is?

To access the page, go to http://www.bright.net/~robertkw/crousememorial/NEWTEMPLATE/FINALPAGES/home.htm.

This is still just a template, not actually being used yet.

Thank you!!!

Ok thank you!!! I feel so stupid. The whole time I was trying to use <td align=top>. I forgot the little v.

Thanks again!

"Please change your screen resolution to at least 1280x1024 pixels."

In other words, that should be the minimum required. I believe my resolution is 1400X1050 and yet I got your message. I see another message in your code incase somebody doesn't have at least 800X600. This leads me to tell you that you should code for any resolution. I changed my resolution to see what I would get if I had the "correct" resolution and you basically are forcing anybody who has the "incorrect" resolution to change. Are you trying to intentionally piss off your viewers? It sure looks like it. The funny thing is, I played around with your images and my resolution size and I couldn't tell a difference. Use the "800 images." When you view them on a larger resolution you shouldn't see a difference. I didn't.

You should also use double quotes around names of links and images. I would also change your links when using an image, so they are not direct links, but relative links. Instead of using something like this...

<img src="http://www.bright.net/~robertkw/crousememorial/pics_backgrounds/crousenewsletter.jpg">

You could put all your images into one folder and then link to it like this...

<img src="pics_backgrounds/crousenewsletter.jpg">

There's also that thing about using tables for layout. Just don't do it. This is what CSS is used for. You also might want to look into how your page looks in Netscape, and as always, validating is always nice.
