I've got this problem and I'm looking for a solution, this is fairly simple so I'm pretty sure that anyone who's experienced with html will know the answer.
I remade a clan site in html and I used a table for my nav bar and body. The table of cource separated into two groups of table data, very basic, side by side. Now the problem is that is there is more text in one cell the text in the other cell centers itself because the table data cell is being stretched so the text is automatically centered. Here's one place where this problem occurs:

As you can see the navigation bar is being moved down, so it doesn't look very good. If you click on the "home" link you'll see that the navigation bar is aligned properly because there is not a lot of content in the other cell. There the problem is opposite. You can see that the text in the other cell is now centered.
Now I've tried the <td align="top"> command, which doesn't seem to do anything, and I've used a few different alignement commands as well.
If you view the source you will probably be able to tell me what the problem is though.
