suttercain Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi everyone,Hope you all had a nice weekend.I am running into an issue with the <table valign='top'> tag. I have it set, yet I the table des not go to the top, it stays in the center. Here is the site, http://www.supermandatabase.com/comic_index.phpAs you can see the drop down menu is in the ceter of the page. I actually would like it at the top beneath the Comics title. If you select a query, the results also show up in the center instead of the top.Here is the code I am using... be warned, it's long, <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><style type="text/css">@import url("sd_style.css");</style><?php require ('get_connected.php'); ?><title>Superman Database :: Comics</title><?php include ('header.html'); ?><body> <table width="986" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td valign="top" colspan="2" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <h2>Comics</h2> </td> <td width="31%" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"><script type="text/javascript"><!--google_color_link = "000000";google_color_text = "000000";google_color_url = "263B5A";//--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script><br><br><script language="JavaScript" src="http://lapi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKServer&ai=snn%7Fhz&bdrcolor=666666&cid=0&eksize=5&encode=ISO-8859-1&endcolor=FF0000&endtime=y&fbgcolor=EFEFEF&fntcolor=000000&fs=0&gallery=y&hdrcolor=FFFFCC&hdrimage=10&hdrsrch=n&img=y&lnkcolor=0000FF&logo=12&num=25&numbid=y&paypal=n&popup=n&prvd=1&query=Comics+Superman&r0=4&shipcost=n&sid=2176471&siteid=0&sort=MetaEndSort&sortby=endtime&sortdir=asc&srchdesc=n&tbgcolor=FFFFFF&tlecolor=333333&tlefs=0&tlfcolor=FFFFFF&track=comics&width=570"></script></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table width="650" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td valign="top"><strong>A List of Every Comic in our Database Grouped by Title </strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="665"> <form action="comic_index_view.php" method="post"> <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT title, COUNT(title) AS count FROM comics GROUP BY title") or die(mysql_error()); $options=""; echo "<select name='title'>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $title=$row["title"]; echo "<option value='" . $title .

Thank you in advance.SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roondog Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 There must be something pushing the table down. I would suggest putting the php include after the body take then, while designing, give the table a border just so you can see whats going on. You can always take the border out when you are finished.I would also suggest you have a look into tabless layouts, this should come quite easily to you if you are already using css.

Primal Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 You should use css instead of an attribute like valign anyway, shouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 It's not necessary for HTML 4.01 transitional, but it is preferred to use CSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
