Aligning to top in a table?

[Don Wiss]

Hi,

I'm self taught and I hand code. I look at other web pages, get a little
help from friends, and do look at html help web sites. I try not to do
anything fancy.

I'm trying to add google ads to some of my pages. I used the code they gave
me. But their ad doesn't align itself at the top. Despite my using <th
align=top>. I looked at another site and they had <td align=top>, but that
didn't change anything. A test page I put up can be found at:

Also something has turned all the page, except my footer lines, into bold.
I have made no changes, so it would appear that something in the google
code has changed my font. Or does using tables default to a bold font?

Thanks, Don <donwiss at panix.com>.

All of your content is in a <th> element, which by default is bold
text. Change to a <td>. Oh, and add the missing <tr>!

<table size="100%" cellpadding=5>
<th align=left> <-- left is the default

<ul>

You're welcome. I don't know about Google ads.

Thanks. That took care of that problem.

But that messes everything up. I still want the google ads along the left,
as they are now. They are now centered along the left. I want them at the
top. My real pages are long and now the google box is way, way down on
them. To get more ads shown I may chop my my pages, and what I posted here
is just an example of one chopped up.

<td align=top>

Huh? "align" must be one of "left", "right", "center", "justify" or
"char". Try "valign" instead.

Try using one of the layout templates here:

Put your script into the "left page area" cell....

<td valign=top>

V = Vertical
