Question

I am compelled to realize an HTML table in HTML 3.1 (no, there is no chance to upgrade 🙁 )

Now, I created a simple table with two columns.

The first column only has one row of text, the second column has more text. Now the first column gets vertically aligned in the center (standard behaviour).

How can I make the column vertically aligned to top in HTML 3.1? :/

Thanks for help!

You can use either attribute valign or css property vertical-align

<table>
<tr>
<td valign="top">1</td>
<td>2<br />3<br />4</td>
</tr>
</table>

or with css

<table>
   <tr>
      <td style="vertical-align: top;">1</td>
   </tr>
</table>
