I’m using a table to divide the page in two, however, on the left side of the table, my top image appears to be pushed down futher than it should be (it doesn’t touch the top of the table). How can I fix this? Thanks!

A 10-second glance at your code shows a \<TR\> (Table Row start) is missing, for starters:

\<TABLE BORDER=“0” CELLSPACING=“0” CELLPADDING=“0”\>  
\<TD\>  
…

Should be:

\<TABLE BORDER=“0” CELLSPACING=“0” CELLPADDING=“0”\>  
\<TR\>  
\<TD\>  
…

There may be other probs, but that needs to be fixed.

You also might use:

\<TD valign=top\> to make sure the stuff is as high as possible in the data area.

I pulled it into frontpage and messed around a bit. Add **\<TD valign=“top”\>** to the cell with the image. I posted the code [here](http://www.camppioneer.org/personal/nintendo.htm) .

Hope this helps.

Oops I may have changed the height and width of the IFRAME - those may need to be reset back to your original numbers.
