Ok, I'm a relative newbie when it comes to Frontpage, so go easy on me
if this is a really stupid question...

I've built a site that basically is made up of a top banner/menu bar
and three seperate content 'columns' below that. The left-hand side
column features a seperate table that contains a menu bar. I want this
table to stay at the top of the screen at all times, but there doesn't
seem to be any way of making it stick there. I can decide where I want
to the table to be in horizontal terms, but not in vertical terms. So
basically, at the moment I'm adding a blank cell onto the bottom of
the table/menu and extending it down to the bottom of the screen in
order to get the table to stay at the top of the screen (I might not
be explaining this very well, forgive me). However, getting it spot-on
every time is hard and this site features quite a few pages, so as you
might imagine it looks a little inconsistant - the menu bar tends to
shift every so slightly between pages. Each page is a different length
so I can't specify a size for the menu to stick to.

So to sum up, my basic question is - is there any way of positioning a
table vertically as well as horizontally (when the table in question
is inserted into a cell).

Any help would be great!
 
Unless I'm not reading you correctly, it sounds like all
you need to do is set the cell properties of the left
column to Vertical alignment: Top. This should keep the
table contained within at the top of the main 3-column
table no matter how far down the content in the other two
columns goes. :o)

Try using the valign="top" tag on the <td> tag that contains the table you
want aligned at the top.
 
Thanks! That works a treat! Very simple when you think about it,
really...I was getting myself confused and trying to alter the
properties of the table, not the cell that contained it...again, many,
many thanks!
