vertical alignment problem with unordered list

[gib65]

Hello,

I'm trying to program a couple unordered lists into my web page and I encountering a problem.

I can't seem to align them with the top of the cell. They act as if there's an extra list item above the first one.

Here's the URL to the page: http://www.cactusridgerr.com/CCRR/comfort.htm

Here's the code for the bottom two cells with the lists in them:

<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top; padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<ul type="disc" style="margin: 1em;">
<li>Elegant dining room</li>
<li>Fireside lounge</li>
<li>Library and computer room</li>
<li>Craft room & country kitchen</li>
</ul>
</td>

<td style="vertical-align: top; padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<ul type="disc" style="margin: 1em;">
<li>Wellness and exercise spa</li>
<li>Beauty salon</li>
<li>Theater and multi-purpose room</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>

Does anyone know why they refuse to be aligned with the top of the cells?

Remove this

<br style="line-height: 8px;"/>

From this in your iframe

<tr>

<td rowspan="2" style="width: 260px;">
</td>

<td colspan="2" style="text-align: justify; padding-top: 10px;">
<span class="blurb">At the Cactus Ridge Retirement Residence, it is our staff�s priority to make your lifestyle as comfortable and worry-free as possible. Whether you enjoy a game of cards with your friends in the fireside lounge, or a
delicious dining room, our numerous amenities and services are always available to enhance your enjoyment, all while ensuring your safety and convenience.<br/>
<br style="line-height: 8px;"/>
<span style="color: rgb(179, 31, 23);">Our amenities are always available for you and your guests to enjoy:<br/></span>
<br style="line-height: 8px;"/>
</span>
</td></tr>

So final code:

<tr>

<td rowspan="2" style="width: 260px;">
</td>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align: justify; padding-top: 10px;">
<span class="blurb">At the Cactus Ridge Retirement Residence, it is our staff�s priority to make your lifestyle as comfortable and worry-free as possible. Whether you enjoy a game of cards with your friends in the fireside lounge, or a
delicious dining room, our numerous amenities and services are always available to enhance your enjoyment, all while ensuring your safety and convenience.<br/>
<br style="line-height: 8px;"/>
<span style="color: rgb(179, 31, 23);">Our amenities are always available for you and your guests to enjoy:<br/></span>
</span>
</td></tr>
