Basic HTML Issue

  • I am new to WordPress, and having some very basic issues with HTML within a WordPress Page.

    I am trying to create a simple two column table that text will be in the left column and a picture or movie will be in the right column.

    I am having an issue getting the text side to stay at the top of the table.
    I can type it in and it will be fine. As soon as I add an image in the right column, the text drops down to about the bottom of the image.

    I have used every valign command I can find and nothing keeps the next side at the top of the cell ?

    Wht am I having such a problem with this ?

    Thank You for your quick Reply …

    Now, I have made 1 hour worth of changes, and nothing seems to put the text at the top of the left column.

    <table id=”Online1″ style=”height: 100px; vertical-align: top;” border=”0″ width=”1171″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″>
    <tbody>
    <tr>
    <td><align=top”>We offer free QuickBooks 101 Online as well as additional industry specific training in our Online Learning Portal.

    </tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>

    Instead of using tables to structure your content, use a column plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/column-matic/

    Amazing … I had already downloaded, installed, activated this plugin, but due to my very lack of understanding with WordPress, I can’t figure out how to use it.

    I have added a couple of other plugins and they appear in the menu of the dashboard and I can add the shortcode to use them …

    This plugin does not appear with a control panel anywhere so I can create the column page or get a short code ? Whee is it supposed to be ?

    Instead of <td><align=top">We offer free...... try <td><valign="top">We offer free......

    Maybe it doesn’t appear and all it does is provide you with these screenshots as documentation: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/column-matic/screenshots/

    So, the first example shows this:

    [column width="180px" padding="10px"]
Some content on the left
[/column]
[column width="120px" padding="10px"]
Some content on the right
[/column]

    You can change the “180px” and “120px” values to match your own design.
