div inside td

[julian_m]

I'm just looking for a way to adjust the div's position on the cell
which is actually containing it.

html:
<td class="tdcls"><div class="divcls">whatever</div></td>


css:

td.tdcls{

}


div.divcls{

}

for instance, say that I want to render the div 20px below the top of
the cell. Are there any options distinct than "vertical-align=top" in
tdcls class? I'm thinking in an option which only adds style to the
div. Are there any?

regards - jm

td.tdcls {padding-top: 20px;}
or
div.divclas {margin-top: 20px;}

The CSS box model is explained at:
