aligining elements in a table cell

[ketanco]

echo "<td width=100> $aa[0] $aa[1] $aa[2] $aa[3] <span style=\"vertical-align:bottom; text-align:right;\">$day_num</span> </td>";

In a table cell like above, I want to show $aa[] items at the top of the cell under each other, which is ok...But I want to show $day_num at the bottom of that same table cell. I tried the code above but it doesnt work....
I also tried to put $day_num in a <div> such as <div class='day_num'>$day_num</div>
and in css, i say vertical-align:bottom; for that .day_num division....That doesnt work either...
In other words, how can you align different items in a single table cell. By the way I do not want to introduce another table in that cell because it creates problems.
Please help...

It would be nice to see exactly what you're trying to do.

I'm sort of thinking you might want to create an actual image to use instead.
Like this: http://www.catpin.com/calendar

Using PHP/GD to generate an image that can be placed with <img src ...>

this is a table cell, which is one day in a calendar...if an $aa[] element is there as not null, it will display the title of that event in that day. BUT I want to display the day number at the bottom right corner of that table cell, that's all...the $aa elements are displaying at the left starting from top....which is fine...

mlseim's link is right on. The way to go is to position it absolutely to the bottom right within the table cell.
