[thelist] a Simple CSS Vertical Align Question

[Casey Crookston]

At least, I think it should be simple.  Here's what I am trying to do...

<td>
    <div id="div1">This needs to be vertically aligned top</div>
    <div id="div2">This needs to be vertically aligned bottom</div>
</td>

I would have thought this would do it:

#div1 {vertical-align:top;}
#div2 {vertical-align:bottom;}

But apparently it's not that simple.  I have found 50 examples of how to do it correctly, but none of the examples I find seem to do this simple task.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Casey
