HTML Lists... Options

[oXiDe]

Okay, this may be a completly stupid question but it's my first time in building a site for a while..

So i would much love to use DIV lists but I needed 5 colomes so it was best for a table.. this is my code...

CODE

table style="width: 100%" class="style1">
    <tr>
        <td style="width: 195px">Inner Suburbs</td>
        <td style="width: 232px">Northern Suburbs</td>
        <td style="width: 229px">Southern Suburbs</td>
        <td style="width: 208px">Eastern Suburbs</td>
        <td style="width: 279px">Western Suburnbs</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td style="width: 195px; height: 31px; text-align: left;">
        <span>

Now the problem is I can't remember how to get the lists to start from the top.. for e.g that code there, if one list is shorter then the other's they move up and down the page with the longest col.. if that make sense? How to i stop that?
