Forum:Table Vertical Align

Hello, everyone. Wondering if I could pick some brains for a second. I've redesigned part of our wiki's key lists, deciding to replace a long list with multiple, sleek tables. While the design isn't perfected yet (more tweaks to come), I've stumbled across one big issue. In order for the tables to work and be easily updatable, I had to write a program that prints out the table after a long set of variables. The problem is that with the Variables written out, they can take up vast amounts of white space before the table shows.

So the question is if there is any class I can use that will automatically anchor the table at the top of the page no matter where in the article it actually is inserted.

For now, I have fixed it by adding a  tag that manually puts the table near the top of every page. The issue is, however, that when someone is not logged in, the adverts will obscure the top right of the table, obscuring six to nine cells or information. Thus, if there is no simple vertical alignment tool I can use, is there some sort of boolean test I can conduct to see if the user is logged in or not (i.e. how returns the number of articles; is there some simple template I can just say in code "if template returns no user is logged in, do....)?

Here is the link for your aid (Driver Datase: Letter H). Thanks to anyone who is willing to take a quick look at this. (p.s., I do realize resolution errors and unsightliness does persist right now; I'd like to tackle the overall alignment issue first before fine-tuning).

 * erg i think has to do with semantic long var list >.< takes its time to load, any way i have 2 possible solutions check whats best for you:
 * A) The issue comes because you are giving 1 line per variable, when the page is load the variables are not display but each line is keep so a simple solution is to put all the variables in a single continuous line

Table to display instead of :

Table to display
 * B) do it backward of what you are doing it, by wraping the variables in a div and then hiding them (not sure on this im not semantic expert)

Table to display


 * Thanks., Cizagna. Found the div "backwards" code helpful. --DaNASCAT 16:21, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
