<table border="1">
<tr>
<td height="400" width="400">

<div>
< img src="tag.png" alt="" />
</div>

<div>
< img src="image.png" alt="" />
</div>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

How can I make image.png sit at the bottom of the table cell whilst tag.png sits at the top?

Cheers,

ignore the space between < and img
It's the only way I could get it to display on TIB.

Top tip for excitable HTML learners: if you see it done on a website and want to do it, go to View Source. Now go and find a website where you see it implemented.

The point is I don't see it implemented anywhere.

I mean, I could use an extra table cell, but I'm just wondering if it is possible to vertically align to separate elements within a table cell, one to the top and one to the bottom.

Try this. You could probably remove the inner div tags and apply the styles to the images directly.

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td height="400" width="400" style="position:relative">

<div style="position:absolute; top:0">
< img width="400" height="100" src="tag.png" alt="" />
</div>

<div style="position:absolute; bottom:0">
< img width="400" height="100" src="image.png" alt="" />
</div>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Why are you using tables for layout anyway, you evil person you?

Because CSS layouts are a bitch to write and tables are easier and work just as well?

*hides*

As for the problem at hand, I'd personally use an extra table cell and use valign="top" or valign="bottom". It depends what else is going in the table, I suppose.

I can't write sites with table layouts for toffee. On the other hand, CSS layouts are second-nature to me now.

Neither is easier or harder than the other - it's just what you're used to.

Yepyep. By the time that I can truly say I understand how to layout tables, I'm onto CSS - and I'm beginning to get a fair grasp of CSS layout too. Check out some of the positioning used for main links and page backgrounds (all made of text) in this design, including through to the guestbook script.

You might want to consider setting sensible colours (or not setting any colours at all) in the <body> tag so that the page degrades gracefully for non-CSS browsers.

Otherwise, quite a nice design.

(Doesn't work right in the version of Netsurf I have, but that's probably a not-quite-done-yet issue with Netsurf.)

Think that should be "top: 0px;" otherwise it won't work on Firefox (and probably the majority of browsers that do things correctly).

There are non- CSS-capable browsers?

No, 0 does not need a unit - "After a zero length, the unit identifier is optional."
