Greetings,

I am using Dreamweaver MX and am having problems with my tables being stretched vertically longer than they are supposed to. I removed all height requirements and are primarily vertically aligned to the top. First, here is my external CSS Sheet:

/* CSS Document */

.Arial14px {
	font-size: 14px;
	font-family: Arial;
	font-style: normal;
	line-height: normal;
	font-weight: normal;
	color: #000000;
	position: static;
	top: auto;
	vertical-align: top;
}
.Arial12pxN {
	font-size: 12px;
	font-family: Arial;
	font-style: normal;
	line-height: normal;

	font-size: 16px;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-variant: normal;
	vertical-align: top;
}
