more frustration

B

Bacchus

I have 3 columns and I am adding tables in each of them so I can have 3
seperate tables accross the display.

Here is the issue. I can't seem to line up eqch interior table to the top
of each outer table. It is just driving me nuts!! Is there a magic button
here that will do this.

SO I am adding 6 rows to one table in one column......the next one over to
the right, I am adding 8 rows...and then the one next to the right is going
to be one row. I want them all to line up at the top. They seem to keep
centering themselves out.

Any help is appreciated

Yep, I understand the frustration. It got to me too when trying to solve it.

But as another poster replied (Ronx, I think ) use separate tables and float
them. Works like a charm

e.g.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table border="1" style="float:left">
<tr align="top"><td width="50">row 1 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 2 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 3 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 4 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 5 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 6 </td></tr>
</table>

<table border="1" style="float:left">
<tr><td width="50">row 1 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 2 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 3 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 4 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 5 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 6 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 7 </td></tr>
<tr><td width="50">row 8 </td></tr>
</table>

<table border="1" style="float:left">
<tr><td width="50">row 1 </td></tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

Select the "base" table cells, then set the alignment to Top and Left, etc.

nothing is working. I cannot get all 3 clumns top align at the top. They
are all over the place in each of it's own columns.

What does floating to? It seems to just move my table over to the left or
right while inside the other table?

Man...this is frustrating.

You would think vertical alignment "top" would tell the program to align the
table at the op...but it does nothing at all?

thanks

Did you try my solution, which is to select the cell/columns in the based table, then set the
alignment for those cells to top and left?

Or mine, which was to use separate floated tables (code included in my post)
?
