Aligning SQL reports in a region so that all top edges are aligned

Question

I have 3 SQL report regions in column 2. I would like these to display so their top edges are aligned.
40           Approved Tests     Report (Column 2)     Conditional
60           Unapproved Tests     Report (Column 2)     Conditional
80           Approved Count by Build     Report (Column 2)     Conditional
What actually happens is the reports are all centered vertically around the middle of the largest (tallest) report. Here's a crude ASCII picture:
Approved Tests
Category        #
Area 1          100
Area 2          100             *Unapproved Tests*
Area 3          100             Category        #                   *Approved Count by Build*
Area 4          100             Area 1           50                  11.0.1               700
Area 5          100             Area 2           50
Area 6          100   
Area 7          100   
Since the leftmost report is the tallest, the other two reports end up centered vertically around the middle of the leftmost report.
Instead, I'd like all the top edges aligned, like this:
Approved Tests               Unapproved Tests              Approved Count by Build
Category        #               Category        #                    11.0.1               700
Area 1          100              Area 1           50
Area 2          100              Area 2           50
Area 3          100
Area 4          100
Area 5          100
Area 6          100   
Area 7          100   
Nothing I've tried so far has worked. Anyone have an idea how to accomplish this? Thanks...

Answer 1

You might try wrapping the regions in html regions that essentially give you the ability to specify a valign=top for the report regions.
So, your regions look like this:
30 Report Start - contains region source = (div)<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td valign="top">
40 Approved Tests Report (Column 2) Conditional
45 Report 2 Start - contains </td><td valign="top">
60 Unapproved Tests Report (Column 2) Conditional
65 Report 3 Start - contains </td><td valign="top">
80 Approved Count by Build Report (Column 2) Conditional
85 Report End - contains "</td></tr></table>(/div)"
Replace () with the angle brackets
Maybe there is a more elegant solution with templates or page level CSS or something..
But that should work.
