Okay. So I'm normally on Internet Explorer... plus I haven't done anything with my website in a long time now so I just now noticed this issue with Firefox and IE. mad.gif Grr... why does it have to be so difficult for them BOTH to work. lol

The current issue is that on my media page I am noticing in my content (middle) area I have it split into two sections is not lining up the way that I want. In IE all I did to "fix" the problem was add a bunch of empty break "<br>'s" to the left section because if I don't... depending on how much content is in the right section it will cause the left section to come down instead of being at the TOP. I want BOTH the left and right columns in my content (middle) area to begin at the TOP of course. So I know that there must be more logical ways about fixing this problem and I'll admit I'm terribly lazy with html codes but I'd like some help so I can put more effort into fixing this problem because currently if "fixes" the situation in IE but it doesn't fix anything in Firefox.

Here's a URL to the site so you can see what I'm talking about if you open it up in IE and Firefox:

In IE the picture and links on the left are on top like I want them to look. In Firefox the picture and links are pushed down.

Forgive me if I'm completely clueless or totally have been screwing up this entire time with my code. unsure.gif

I think you're looking for the valign="top" attribute. See TD - Table Data Cell in our HTML 4 reference.

Thanks so much! It dawned on me when I woke up this morning that I hadn't even thought to check to see if I even had that valign="top"...thank goodness it was only that. Sorry for making a thread about such a simple issue. Thanks for the help!!!
