Creating two column tables

I am working on creating a webpage and I want to have a two-column table on the page. I know a little bit about creating tables, so I first tried the code on my own and could not get the results I wanted. The page is hosted at geocities, so I used the GeoCities table creation wizard and still did not get the results I wanted. What I am trying to do is get rid of the big space on the left column and I am trying to the right column to align to the top. I have experiemented by changing the table width, but it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? The page URL is www.geocities.com/c_brookhart/goodbyemailbox/tabletest.html

try putting this in your <TR> tags:

<TR valign='top'>
also, it looks like you have an extra </tr> tag in the middle, where you don't want/need it.

the valign='top' worked when I put it in the TR tag. What can I do to get the second column to move up so that is aligned with the first column and how can I get the first two lines in the second column to have more space? The changes I made are now saved in a new table. It is the same address as before except the html file is now tabletest2.html
I fixed the spacing problem, so the only thing left to fix is making the two columns line up.

I was able to get the table fixed. Thanks for the help.
Glad we could help!  I recommend that you split the points between us ...
I am splitting the points between both of you. I am currently waiting for one of the experts in the help area to reduce the points so that the split can be done.
Hello  cbrookhart I have reduced the amount of ponts to 25 for each, and have accepted COBOLdinosaur here at the question.

You need to create a new wuestion this Topic Area called Ponits for knightEknight add in 25 points, and when her accepts, you will recieve a notificaionl.
