Dreamweaver Image Alignment Issue

[rjcube]

I am having trouble with designing my website. I am fairly new at web design and don't know that much, and I am having a problem with image alignment.

I have a sidebar that is a long vertical image and I have an image with text for the title of the website. I want the text to be next to the sidebar on the top.

I put the images in one after another, and this is what happens.

If I try to put it in a table, this is what happens.

And then I put Vertical alignment to top and here's what I get.

This is what I want it to look like but I cannot edit anything below the image.

How can I solve this problem so that I can get the images where I want them, and be able to add content below the text image?

The basic code for that can be like this,

<table width="1015" height="1185" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="313" height="77" rowspan="2" scope="col"><img src="side.jpg" width="315" height="1100" /></td>
    <td width="692" height="157"><img src="banner_logo.jpg" width="783" height="155" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="941">THIS IS THE BODY</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="313" height="78" scope="col">&nbsp;</td>
    <td scope="col">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Just a few suggestion, first off you might wanna shrink the images. it looks nice for a 17" screen but not for 15". You can also split the images into different part rather than into one whole big block.

Thanks for the help! That worked perfectly.

And yes I was planning on shrinking the images and everything. But one thing I am worried about is, what if my content goes past the top logo? It would look somewhat strange. Also if i just don't do that then it would look squished.

Sorry i didnt get that.

Your content should be here.

  <tr>
    <td height="941">THIS IS THE BODY OR CONTENT :)</td>
  </tr>

So you dont have a problem going past the top logo.
