TD BGCOLOR="#003300" VALIGN="top" width="182"

In attempting to move into a more fully realized CSS site,
I changed that to:

TD class="greenmenu"

td.greenmenu {
background: #003300;

You should always set a foreground color with a background
colour to avoid clashes with user settings.

Done! Thank you for the tip.

width: 182px;
padding-top: 0em;
}

The content within that container declines to vertically align at the
top, insisting on what appears to correspond with a
'valign="middle".'

How do I get what I want, visually?

vertical-align: top;

Well, I actually tried that without beneficial effect... cut 'n' pasted
yours, and it worked perfectly. Don't know where I went wrong, but thank
you again!

Wild guess: Could you have tried valign (in error) instead of
vertical-align?
