God Himself couldn't get this table to the top of the page

[ZandarKoad]

I spent the last two hours deleting parts of the css file until it was all gone.  I've deleted everything I possibly can, and yet the (second) table STILL won't go to the top.  You'll notice I threw in a random non-php table that jumped to the top just fine...

It seems like just having some PHP processing forces the table down some random distance...  I'm lost.

 

Here's the URL:
http://gator3241.hostgator.com/~zandar/zetabeta/index2.php

Here's the code: 

<?php
$servername = "123.123.123.123";
$username = "------";
$password = "------";
$dbname = "zandar_zetabeta";
$firsttablename = "english_phrases";
$secondtablename = "cebuano_phrases";
mysql_connect($servername,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($dbname) or die("Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT phrase_index_key, phrase_content, author FROM english_phrases";
$en_result=mysql_query($query);
$en_num=mysql_numrows($en_result);
$query2="SELECT phrase_index_key, phrase_content, author FROM cebuano_phrases";
$ceb_result=mysql_query($query2);
$ceb_num=mysql_numrows($ceb_result);
mysql_close();
?>

<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <td>Jill</td>
    <td>Smith</td> 
    <td>50</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Eve</td>
    <td>Jackson</td> 
    <td>94</td>
  </tr>
</table>

<table>
<tr><th>Phrase ID</th><th>English Phrase</th><th>Cebuano Phrase</th><th>Author</th></tr>
<?
$i = 0;
while ($i < $en_num) {
	$field1name = mysql_result($en_result, $i, "phrase_index_key");
	$field2name = mysql_result($en_result, $i, "phrase_content");  //English
	$field3name = mysql_result($ceb_result, $i, "phrase_content"); //Cebuano
	$field4name = mysql_result($en_result, $i, "author");
	echo "<tr>";	
	echo "<td>$field1name</td> <td>$field2name</td> <br> <td>$field3name</td>  <td>$field4name</td> <br>";
	echo "</tr>";
	$i++;
	}
?>
</table>

You can't put BRs between table cells like that. The browser has to try to deal with the invalid markup you've given it, and it apparently does so by interpreting those as being placed before the table.

Looks like you'll be losing your blue badge. What colour is the "God" badge?

[requinix]

Purple?

I was thinking Imperial Purple, but then Gold.

Can't be "God" because he himself coudn't do it...will need to be something more skilled and powerfull than him....hmmm.  Answers on a postcard?
