Problems with table cells

[ondi]

Hi, here's my code, and things are working as they should. My only problem is I can't seem to move my drop-down list from the cell it is in to the cell left one. (see photo) Can anyone see from my code whats going wrong?

<TABLE

  CELLSPACING=0
  CELLPADDING=0>
<TR VALIGN=middle  ALIGN=center>
<td><img src="http://www.walthamforest-fc.co.uk/stats/images/playerbar.jpg"></TD>
</TR>
<tr VALIGN=left  ALIGN=center>
<td><img src="
<?php echo
$image_url = "images/" . $playerdata['id'] . "_1.jpg";

if($defaultseasonid == 0)
{
   $sql .= "

}


$query = mysql_query("$sql", $connection)
or die(mysql_error());

while($data = mysql_fetch_array($query))

   }
}

echo"</select>  <input type=\"submit\" name=\"change_player\" value=\"$txt_change\">";
mysql_free_result($query);


$ttl = (($_SESSION['getAdditional'] + 1) % 2) ? "Show": "Hide";
?>
</td>
</tr>

OK - using tables for layout is the old school method and I find it impossible to 'help' people with problems with table based layouts - I don't believe it helps anybody...

 

this applies to you too - I will however point you to using some markup validation - that wlll help initially.

</TD>

<td>

<td background="/stats/images/playernameback.jpg" width="202" height="46"><?php

 

is that <td> needed as there is no closing </td>?
