Hello - still pretty new, so I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm creating a site in Dreamweaver (MX V6). I can code BASIC HTML and some CSS, but it was just much easier at the time to begin this project there.

The issue I'm having is with a table (1 row/2 columns). I have an image in the left column. It's the only thing in the left column. I have images, text, and a form on the right. However, anything I do to the right is changing the left. On the left, I want the image to be at the very top of the table - centered but at the very top. But whenever I push something down further on the right, it pushes the image down on the left. I want the image at the top of the right side to be a little further down - not right at the top.

Can someone assist? Here is a snippet of the code.

<center>
<table width="88%" border="0">
  <tr> 
	<td><img src="IMAGENAME.jpg" width="488" height="706" align="top"></td>
	<td> <p>&nbsp;</p>
		<p align="center"><img src="ANOTHERIMAGENAME.jpg" width="565" height="85"></p>
	  <p align="center"><font color="FFFFFF"><u><font color="#FFFFFF">SOME TEXT</font></u></font> 
	  </p>
	  <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">MORE TEXT</font></p>
	  <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">MORE TEXT</font></p>
	  <p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">MORE TEXT</font></p>
		<p align="center"><font color="FFFFFF">MORE TEXT</font> 
		  <!-- Begin Response-O-Matic Form -->

Why do you not build it in css?
A lot easier than you would think and a much better way to make a website imo.
Do you have a design to show what your trying to achieve or a live version of above to make it easier to help.

Everything should be put in a style script. There is too much unnecessary code in there. eg: you only need one line for your font tags and center tags in your styling.

A good website will not use tables at all. If you a beginner in HTML, you should steer clear from them and not learn a bad habit that you will soon need to break.

to keep the image on top add valign="top" to the first td tag. (valign = vertical align)
If you want some space add hspace="XX" or vspace="XX" to the img tag, replace XX with the value you want.

<td valign="top">

<img src="IMAGENAME.jpg" vspace="5" width="488" height="706" align="top">

You could/should do these things in CSS, as much as possible, and if possible, but that's not always the case because of browser incompatibilities so... do as you please.

Listen to these guys cause when you do things in CSS, all you need to do is change one spot and all your HTML pages that are link to CSS will change as well. Just a thought.
