Vertical Alignment Issue

Question

I have a problem. I've browsed through existing solutions and
haven't found anything that works for me.
I am working on a site that has lots of nested tables. The
navigation bar and some other text are in a column on the left (in
a nested table) and the page content is in a table on the right (in
a nested table). However, the image and text in the left column
continue to migrate down whenever I add too much content in the
right column.
This happens only on page where the height of the content in
the right column exceeds the height of the content in the left.
ALL properties for all tables have the vertical alignment set
to "top" not to "default". Any help would be greatly appreciated. I
am attaching the code for my style.css file.

Thank you in advance ... Amy

Yes. I stand corrected. Thanks Murray.
valign="top" is the correct HTML syntax. valign:top is some
invalid hybrid
of HTML & CSS. Regardless, it can't/won't/doesn't work.
