<color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>Hi Everyone:


<underline>Here is the background information:</underline> 

I am creating a free site for our local school district. They wanted to 
see a sample of what a site might look like for them. I created a 
quick one page teaser and posted it up on my server. But when I 
checked it...to my horror...( :-o) ... my table with the main graphic 
in the top cell doesn't line up with the background image. The fix 
should be to have the table be flush with the left hand margin and 
also be flush with the top. [I can fix it with an absolute setting and 
place the table where I want it (great for IE4+ viewers). However, 
the district uses NN browsers and their version won't support CSS.]

<underline>The Delema:</underline>

I have looked through my HTML Bible, checked all the tutorials I 
have bookmarked, and finally looked at the HWG archives, but 
can't find quite what I'm looking for. I'm pulling my hair out trying to 
remember the code (My only conclusion...I must be stupid.) 


<underline>The Solution (I'm hoping):

</underline>Put it out an A.P.B. on the HWG list and let <italic><underline>all you intelligent 
people</underline></italic> see what a goof I am, and hope that someone will take 
compassion on me (or smacks me up along-side of my head) and 
spark my memory as to what the code should be to make a table 
line up at the "top-left" of a web page! Any help is appreciated.


I humbly thank you for your time!
