tables/css

Help please

I am making a calendar and I want all the numbers to align to the top left well instead of typing out align=left valign=top in every single td tag. I thought of using css like this-



except instead of background, I wanted to put align left, etc...
but it isn't working. And I can't find anything to help hmm. Any clues to help? Or is there an easier way? I am probably going about this so stupid like ugh ;(

Thanks for any help.

I just did a google for CSS properties as well and got this page:

http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/properties.html

Most of the properties are clearly named (like text-align, vertical-align, visibility, font-size etc) so often it's easy to find the ones you are looking for by just looking for the name that best matches what you are trying to achieve

Thanks! Yeah I am not too great with css stuff obviously lol. I am trying to learn. Thanks for that site its neat. And it worked.

I have been working on this calendar for like a week and its just bugging me now lol. Thanks again.

and sorry for posting this twice ;( ugh long day.
