Re: Tile Pieces Are Not Aligned

[Jason Lea]

If you are using tables, then you probably want to make your <TD>'s into 
<TD  valign="top">
It sounds like there might be a lot of links, and the content page has 
fewer lines, so the browser is centering the content vertically.  valign 
forces the browser to display the content at the top of the cell.

eg
<TABLE>
  <TR>
     <tiles:get name="upperbar"/>
  </TR>
  <TR>
     <TD valign="top">
        <tiles:get name="links"/>
     </TD>
     <TD valign="top">
        <tiles:get name="content"/>
     </TD>
  </TR>
  <TR>
     <tiles:get name="lowerbar"/>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

The text at the top of the tile (which has all the
links) on my left hand side displays at a position
much higher than that of the text at the top of the
'content'tile.

Subject: Tile Pieces Are Not Aligned
I am using the tiles feature.  So far so good, all
pieces are displayed.
I have four pieces of tiles: topbar (always the
     

same
   

in every page), sidebar (always the same bunch of
links in every page), lowbar (alsyas the same in
     

every
   

page), and the 'content' tile (which varies from
     

page
   

to page).
The problem is with the 'content' tile, which is
     

in
   

the center and to the right hand side of the
     

sidebar.
   

The position of the first line of text in the
     

sidebar
   

is always MUCH HIGHER than that of the 'content'
     

tile.
   

That is to say, the top of those two pieces of
     

tiles
   

are not aligned.
Is there any alignment technique?  Right now, my
     

web
   

pages look ugly.
     

CSS or tables.  
Actually the CSS purists will pretty much revoke my
CSS snob priveleges for mentioning tables for
formatting...but hey what the heck it's an option.
