HI
I have only just started using tables in my designs and I copied this table from a book (script below).
When I write in the main window section using dreamweaver MX inthe visual setting the writing starts half way down the window on the left. How do I get it to start on the top left corner.
Thankyou

Insert the following after width="317":

valign="top"

If you want to do it using dreamweaver, make sure that your properties window is open, next click in front of "Main" and finally select "Top" where it says "Vert" (short for vertical) within the properties window.

Good luck,

Raquel

You should be able to apply a valign="top" value in one of the fields of the properties palette for a TD element in DreamWeaver.
(Edit: You just beat me to it on this one, Raquel)

If this is only to learn, then it's ok to try tables. Otherwise, I'd go for tableless and CSS.
