I'd like to use stylesheet instead of hard-coding HTML so that text within cells are aligned vertically, ie. text starts at the upper left-hand corner.

However, neither of this works:

<head>
    <link rel="STYLESHEET" href="display.css" type="text/css">
    <style>
    td {vertical-align:top; font-size:x-small}
    td {vertical-align:text-top; font-size:x-small}
    </style>
</head>

Does someone know?

Thank you.

Edit: Problem solved. Turns out the HTML editor I'm using is a bit old and didn't display things as expected, but they do show OK in a modern browser with "vertical-align:top".
