Aligning in tables

Apologies for my very basic queries. I have a simple table on my DW index page (with background colour on the page). Tried to insert a Photoshop jpeg (logo) with a matching background, in a cell and align it at the top of the cell. No dice: it stays centred vertically whatever I do – and the code says it's top aligned. Not what I call user-friendly. Any ideas, please? Before I'm sacked for missing completion dates...

Can you paste your actual code, we can help you more if we can actually see what your code is.

<td valign="top">

Is how to make the cell align to the top.

Thanks Dodge. Tried valign, still didn't work. Here's entire code (sorry!) in case there's some CSS conflict I haven't recognised (seems to be a lot of unnecessary code...):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "<html xmlns="<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Living River - home</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
//-->
</script>
<link href="../CSS/Palatino%20text.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color: #CCFFFF;
}
-->
</style></head>

<body>
<table width="800" height="1100" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="LR general">
<tr>
<th width="144" rowspan="2" scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
<th width="204" height="100" scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="656" height="500"><img src="../images/LRds-blue.jpg" width="227" height="100" align="top" td valign="top" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
<td height="500">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

clik to the right of the image (in the cell) and then use that cell's alligment

<td width="656" height="500" valign="top"><img src="../images/LRds-blue.jpg" width="227" height="100" align="top" td valign="top" /></td>

Change

Code: 
<td width="656" height="500"><img src="../images/LRds-blue.jpg" width="227" height="100" align="top" td valign="top" /></td>

to

Code: 
<td valign="top" width="656" height="500"><img src="../images/LRds-blue.jpg" width="227" height="100" align="top"></td>

The valign should be in the original <td> tag not in the picture attributes.

Thanks a lot, all. Got it working. Sure I'll be back with more basic panics soon! Thanks again.
