Valign=top doesn't always work

[Guest]

I have problems aligning my left menu with the valign=top:

It happens a lot when the the middle pane is very complicated with a lot of
nested tables.

What can I do?

Hey Arne,
Thanks for asking twice (to the wrong newsgroup). Your stylesheet has the
following:

TD {
vertical-align: baseline;

FONT-WEIGHT: normal;
word-spacing: normal;
letter-spacing: normal;
text-transform: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

thus all TDs are being vertically aligned to the baseline...simply remove
that first style

If the vertical-align: baseline; in your stylesheet is important to the rest
of your site, removing it from the stylesheet may not be a viable option.
You can use style="vertical-align: top;" in the TD elements that you need to
align at the top to override the stylesheet setting.
