How can I get a table to stay at the top of page?

#1

Ok guys and gals, I am getting really frustrated! I need the table that has my
nav bar to stay at the top left side of the page, like this:
http://www.djstevens.com/bio.htm . However, when my text runs long, I get
this: http://www.djstevens.com/poems.htm How do I stop that from happening? I
am not a big fan of frames at all. NOTE: Please ignore the borders and other
issues, I am not even close to finished yet, I just wanted to address this
before I move on. Thanks for any help, guys and gals!

well you need a vertical-align: top; on the cells. You can do this
through CSS, or you can use "<td valign="top">content</td>" but that is
deprecated.

Why is it deprecated? How do I do it with CSS? I do have a style sheet, albeit
a little one, for this, so I can add it if need be. Originally posted by:

Just to add:

You have at least 2 body tags, and you have duplicates of DW javascript
functions,'Mick

It is deprecated because we are trying to separate content from style.
You can still use it but at some point it will not be valid HTML any more.

You can use:

<td class="topalign">

then
..topalign {
vertical-align: top;
}

for the CSS

or

<table class="yourtable">

then
..yourtable td {
vertical-align: top;
}

I prefer the second I think.

P.S. the reason they recommend separating content from style is that
when other devices start using web pages, then the content can be easily
read on that format (and styled appropriately).

And then everybody's nephew gets hung?

I disagree, I think the "other devices" will find a way to show nephews
site. There are no standards as far as I can see.

I can not get the first one to work. Any idea why? Also where do I put the
table class line? After the <td>? Originally posted by: Newsgroup User It is

still use it but at some point it will not be valid HTML any more. You
can use: <td class='topalign'> then .topalign
{ vertical-align: top; } for the CSS or <table
class='yourtable'> then .yourtable td { vertical-align:
top; } I prefer the second I think. justcrash

Any ideas, gang? I am having trouble getting this to work for some reason.

If it helps, the nav is a library item.
