Positioning within test9991014 03-20-2008

 Hi folks,

I've got something like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td align=center>
<input type=text>
</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</table>

I've found that the <input> is not quite where I want it
vertically, and of course align=top & align=bottom
aren't what I want either.

So is there a way to position the <input> within
the <td> so that it is exactly X pixels below the top?

Thanks.

And the answer is:

<td align=top>
<input style="margin-top: 3px;">

... changing 3px to whatever is desired.

It's a suboptimal answer, considering you have to change it every time
you change the height of the input box or the height of the TD.
