Hello, I'm making a web page for one of my projects in school. I have a side menu bar in a cell which is then in another cell. I want the menu to stay at the top of the screen, but when text on the page gets long, the menu drops down more and more on the page.
I put in the <td valign="top">, but that still doesn't work.
If you want to see the entire page... http://www.tehbrds.com/homework/

The problem is that the cells you are using the valign property in are in a table which is in another TD. That table is positioned in the middle (vertically) within the containing TD! You need to use the valign property in the containing TD to make that tabe at that top.
One trick I use in such situations is to temporarily use borders on the tables so I can see exactly what is where.
By the way, you have some duplicative and unecessary code - basically you need to do some cleanup. for instance you have a CENTER tag within another CENTER tag.
