Aligning Tables

[hAppY pAppY]

Hey guys, yet another question. I'm placing two tables side by side, within a larger table. I'm wondering if there is a way for me to get the table that is shorter in height to align itself at the top, rather than the middle. See screenshot:

I guess this is what's happening to you:

Your table is within a cell of another table, right? if that's the case, you should put this for the cell where that table is contained:
<td valign='top'>

Hope this helps.

I could have sworn I tried that already, but I'll give it a shot, and report back ASAP.

thanks!

Have you tryed using css for your layout? With css you could get rid of all the tables and position your layout just about anyway you want.Also your pages will load faster.There are alot of great sites for learning css if you have never tried it.
