Vertically centered text in Tables

[abottoir]

I'm trying to make a practice site on the premise of only using tables, css, and text. The problem is, the text is vertically centered on the relatively empty table cells. How do I make the text in the tables start at the top? :dead:

<td valign="top">

If that does not work can we see your page/code?

Or, using CSS:

td
{
    vertical-align: top;
}
