html help with vertical alignment

[Eric J in MN]

In the table on top of the page at:
http://www.moveleft.com/moveleft5.asp

I used the following:
<table CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="12" borders="0">
<tr VALIGN="top">
<td VALIGN="top">

<a href="http://www.verifiedvoting.org"><img src="" WIDTH=340 HEIGHT=75 border="0" target="_blank"></a>
test


</td>
</tr>
</table>

Why is the word "test" near the bottom of the cell instead of the top?

1. Try....

Try adding: <td VALIGN="center"> as well as the <td VALIGN="top">

On edit:
If you highlight your entire page, the "text" appears to be in
the lower right-hand side of a cell.

3. why would using the word "center" make the word "test"

Why would using the word "center" make the word "test" higher on the page?

4. The valign options are

baseline, bottom, middle, top.

2. Put your test word in a new td next to your image

It's just one of the illogical behaviors of html.

<table CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="12" borders="0">
<tr>
<td>

<img src="" WIDTH=340 HEIGHT=75 border="0" target="_blank" align="left"></a>  test </div></td>

8. The "target" attribute.

The "target" attribute belongs inside the <a>
tag.

Take a look at this very good tutorial page.
http://www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/tableman/htmlf/sld081.htm

This is part of a very clear basic html tutorial.

In other words, if you want the link to open in another
window, you'd type:

<a href="http://www.verifiedvoting.org"
target="_blank"><img
src="whatever.jpg" width="340"
height="75" border="0"></a>

The <img> tag doesn't have a "target"
attribute.

Where would you like the word "test" to appear?
