How do I vertically align text within a td and a span?

Question

Here is what I have, the only CSS is styling for my tags, so there is no relevant CSS effecting this.

<tr>
    <td colspan="2" valign="top"><span style="font-size:20px; color:#ed8f49">Fall Classes with</span><img src="REDACTED.png" height="90" width="482"></td>
</tr>

When I have only the TD things work fine, but as soon as I put that text in a span or try to make it h1 it aligns to the bottom, even if I add alignment attributes to the span as well.

Answer 1

You need align="top" or style="vertical-align:top on your image :)

Answer 2

Try:

<td colspan="2" style="vertical-align: top;">

The attribute valign is deprecated and should not be used.
