Question
Why does text start at the middle of the page?

After saving a website for web with photoshop, I open the html with dreamweaver. I delete the box where I will put my text and apply an image as the background image. Now the problem is that when I want to type something the typing cursor appears at the center of the page. I DO NOT mean this:

TESTING

I mean that lengthwise, the text seems to start half way down the text box. Any way to change this so that the text can be typed at the top of the page? Thanks to all.

hmmm it seems the size of the Text box is set to something like

Code:
<input type="text" size=15>
and u have expanded the box in dreamweaver as in to hold more but it will only hold 15 therefore starting in the middle, try changing that to 500 or something... i hope that is the problem

In the text cell, try to add the attributes align="left" and valign="top"

actually I'm talking about text in a table format, not a text box. I tried adding those attributes but, Dreamweaver gives me an error that they are invalid markups.

Code:
<tr>
		<td rowspan="10">
			<img src="images/temp1_37.gif" width="9" height="807" alt=""></td>
		<td colspan="19" rowspan="9" background="images/temp1_38.gif">TESTING</td>
		<td>
			<img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="25" alt=""></td>
	</tr>
in reference to that part of the HTML code, remove the rowspan 10???

Are you sure? Here's what I meant
Code:
<tr>
		<td rowspan="10">
			<img src="images/temp1_37.gif" width="9" height="807" alt=""></td>
		<td colspan="19" rowspan="9" background="images/temp1_38.gif" valign="top">TESTING</td>
		<td>
			<img src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="25" alt=""></td>

	</tr>
