I've tried that method, and i also tried with div tags, they both worked, but i dont want the white area maximised than it is for that certain content, because my page already uses php and the content comes from external files, bt yeh. It's just a matter of finding a way to make a table a fixed height and for everything to stay at the top and not move down to the middle of the table -.- If you need an example for what i mean i can redo that.
edit: re-added div tag so you see
