Php include menu problems

[bigmac]

Hi,
I am currently in the process of putting together a new web site. This is only my second attempt and I'm playing around with php to allow for extra features. One of the things I'm trying to do is use 'include' php for a side menu on every page. I've got it working, but I have one major problem, hopefully it will be something simple.
The home page is http://www.new.peugeot406coupe.com I'm happy with the menu there, but go to http://www.new.peugeot406coupe.com/ebay and the text in the menu is dragged down to half way.
The way I've got this set up is, I have a template with two tables and also 'include' command to put the banner at the top. In the left table I simply have the 'include' command for the menu, the right table is an editable region to allow me to add text.
How do I get the menu text to stay at the top, rather than get dragged down with the content of the right table?

go to that cell and type in valign="top".

that should fix it :bingo:

Thanks, sorry for being really dim, but where do I need to put that. Ive tried all different places around the code for the table but all i get is text that says <valign="top"> in highlighted yellow.
I'm using macromedia mx 2004 BTW, in case that makes any difference?
Sorry about this, but I have never done anything with code before.

I havent looked at your code yet, but the valign=top would either go in the <tr> or <td> tag as follows, not as its own tag:

<tr valign="top"> or <td valign="top">

From what I can tell, I think you would want <td valign="top">
