Alignment Within A Table Cell

Hello,

I am having an issue where one cell of a row in my table is a submit button. The other cells in that row are text. I need the button to align with the text in the other cells. I tried valign, but (I guess) becasue I'm using a button, it doesn't work. Is there a buffer between the buttonand everything else? Am I able to congiure that button? If so, how?

Here is the HTML:

<tr><td><valign='center'><FORM ACTION='game.php' METHOD=POST><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME='game_id' VALUE='1125588480'><input type=submit name='submit' value='Update'></FORM></td><td valign='center'>Thursday</td><td valign='top'>September 1</td><td valign='top'>6:28</td><td valign='top'><a href='no_directions.html' target=_blank>Medford</a></td><td valign='top'><center>G</center></td><td valign='top'><center></center></td><td valign='top'><center></center></td>        <td width = '55'>         </td>        <td rowspan='25'><a href="http://http://www.qksrv.net/media/offers/?AID=10371510&PID=1465752; target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://affiliates.ebay.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><img src="http://http://www.yceml.net/0438/10371510-9.gif; width="160" height="600" alt="" border="0"></a></td>"        </tr><tr><td><valign='center'><FORM ACTION='game.php' METHOD=POST><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME='game_id' VALUE='1124470800'><input type=submit name='submit' value='Update'></FORM></td><td valign='center'>Friday</td><td valign='top'>August 19</td><td valign='top'>8:00</td><td valign='top'><a href='http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; target=_blank>Tufts - Field 1</a></td><td valign='top'><center>G</center></td><td valign='top'><center></center></td><td valign='top'><center></center></td></tr>

Is this what you were trying to do?:

<table border="1"><tr><td valign="top"><FORM ACTION="game.php" METHOD="POST"><INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="game_id" VALUE="1125588480"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update"></FORM></td><td valign="top">Thursday</td><td valign="top">September 1</td><td valign="top">6:28</td><td valign="top"><a href="no_directions.html" target="_blank">Medford</a></td><td valign="top"> </td><td valign="top"> </td><td valign="top"> </td><td valign="top"> </td><td rowspan="2"><a href="http://http://www.qksrv.net/media/offers/?AID=10371510&PID=1465752; target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://affiliates.ebay.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"><img src="http://http://www.yceml.net/0438/10371510-9.gif; width="160" height="600" alt="" border="0"></a></td>"</tr><tr><td valign="top"><FORM ACTION="game.php" METHOD=POST><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="game_id" VALUE="1124470800"><input type=submit name="submit" value="Update"></FORM></td><td valign="top">Friday</td><td valign="top">August 19</td><td valign="top">8:00</td><td valign="top"><a href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; target="_blank">Tufts - Field 1</a></td><td valign="top"> </td><td valign='top'> </td><td valign="top"> </td><td valign="top"> </td></tr></table>

truefusion hit the nail on the head. I'm not sure how I missed that.

it appears the problem has been solved. thread closed and a thumbs up to truefusion
