It looks very very nice Mondas. I won't look at your code but I
suspect you need to put valign="top" in the <td>s concerned.
There are probably 3 of these, one for each column. Works like a
charm. The magic of tables, the good old 1990s and deprecation
you see...

When you get to use css more, you can do it in a more round about
way for these <td>s. When you get to know even more, you can get
rid of tables altogether. And when you get to know even more
still, you might for the odd project go back and say "Oh bugger
this, let's use tables anyway for old time's sake and it is
simple..."
