HTML Table going wrong

by SlasherV May 9th 2010, 6:25 am

I am trying to put a table up in a Post in a Thread, but there is a huge gap at the top, right before the table. Here is the URL for the page: http://valleyweyr.forumotion.net/dragons-f1/dragon-colors-t2.htm
And here is the code for the table:

Code:: <table bgcolor=black bordercolor=purple border=1> <tr> <td><center>Color</center></td> <td width=10%><center>Rank</center></td> <td width=35%><center>Statistics</center></td> <td><center>Description</center></td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Gold #FFD700 <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/goldbase.jpg"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>High Queen Female 3/3 Not Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Clutch: 15-40 eggs Impress: Heterosexual Female Caught: Bronze, Irons, and rarely Brown Length: 39-44m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: thin, narrow, with a downward arch</div> </td> <td><a name=gold></a>All queen dragons require strong willed young women that have the potential of leading the Weyr. They need strong women because without them, they would be unable to keep the population up, gorging on meat rather than blooding their kills, unable to fly high and far. The gold queens have a tendency to prefer women who were not born in the Weyr. The largest of all dragons, The golden queen ranges in colors from the most true of gold to the odd shades of yellow, or bronze-yellow, almost more green than gold, to the rarer colors of rose and the rarest, white-gold. No dragon can go against the will of their gold queen, Senior Weyrwomen are infallible, when two butt heads the one with the strongest willed rider will generally range over, though that has very rarely ever occurred. Gold queens can give birth to all dragon colors. The egg containing a queen is the largest and has a subtle gold-silvery glow around it, though it is impossible to discern whether it is a gold or silver until the egg actually hatches. The queens will always find a suitable personality and will never go feral.</td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Bronze #A67D3D <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/bronzebase-1.png"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>High King Male 2/4 Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Impress: Heterosexual Male Length: 35-43m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Firestone: Yes Flame: Catch: Gold, Silver, Purple, Green</div></td> <td><a name=bronze></a>All king dragons require a strong willed young man that has the potential of leading the Weyr. Bronze kings tend to favor the more noble young men that were born to the Weyr. Unlike their golden counterparts, bronzes tend to lead more quietly rather than bossy. They are the top leaders, generally in position as Weyrleader and Wingleader, and even the queens will listen to their leaders during the fight with Thread. They are also one of the largest dragons, ranging in color from a very metallic green-brown, almost coppery in color, to the deeper truer bronze which is evenly green and brown. They tend to be very intelligent and keep up with their riders very well intellectually. They will fly any other female color, despite who her rider is, though they will always try for a queen, as their larger bulk will hinder them against flying the smaller and quicker females. The egg of a bronze will tend to be large but it has nothing to identify as to what it will hold, one can only guess. The kings will commit suicide if they do not find a suitable personality and will never go feral.</td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Silver #CDCDCD <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/silverbase.jpg"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>Queen Female 1/1 Not Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Clutch: 5 to 25 eggs Impress: Heterosexual Female Caught: Bronze, Irons, and Brown Length: 37-42m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: thin, narrow, with a downward arch</div></td> <td><a name=silver></a>All queen dragons require strong willed young women that have the potential of leading the Weyr. They need strong women because without them, they would be unable to keep the population up, gorging on meat rather than blooding their kills, unable to fly high and far. Silver queens tend to favor the more sensitive young women that were born inside of the Weyr rather than out. One of the largest dragons, they range in colors from a dull almost slate-gray to a silvery almost white with liquid silver highlights. Silver queens are second in command, and when there are no Gold queen dragons, a silver will take over. Silver queens are the most silent of all dragons, though they seem to have developed quite the ‘ear’ for listening to other people aside from their own rider, even those without dragons. Silver queens can give birth to all dragon colors. The egg containing a queen is the largest and has a subtle gold-silvery glow around it, though it is impossible to discern whether it is a gold or silver until the egg actually hatches. The queens will always find a suitable personality and will never go feral.</td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Iron #292929 <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/ironbase-1.png"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>King Male 1/4 Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Impress: Heterosexual Male Catch: Gold, Silver, Purple, Green Length: 33-41m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: </div> </td> <td><a name=iron></a>All king dragons require a strong willed young man that has the potential of leading the Weyr. Iron kings tend to favor the more passionately just young men, wherever they may come from. Iron kings tend to be the most possessive of all the dragons of the Weyr and tend to have a strong sense of ‘mine’, whether it be their riders, their mates, their wing, or even a pet. This makes them tend to be slightly more aggressive towards other kings, and even the larger browns, though a fight has never been allowed to occur, but this trait makes them more involved with the dragons and their riders in their wing. Theses kings very in the dark colors with an odd mixture of metallic bronze, deep blue, and going into black, making them very difficult to spot at night. Iron’s come from larger eggs, though like all others one can never tell what the egg will hold until it hatches. The kings will commit suicide if they do not find a suitable personality and will never go feral.</td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Brown #8B4513 <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/brownbase.jpg"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>Prince Male 0/6 Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Impress: heterosexual and bisexual males Cacht: rarely Gold, occasionally Silver, Purple, Green Length: 30-38m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: </div> </td> <td><a name=brown></a>Brown dragons are larger than their Blue, Red, Purple and Green cousins though are smaller than the Queens and Kings. They are essentially the middle men. Once in a very long while they may mate with queens but it is rare. Generally they stick to Greens and Purples. Their hides can be a variety of brown shades but are not metallic. They tend to be wingseconds and though they and their riders command respect, no special title is given them. Browns themselves tend to be more sane and more likely to take matters into their own hands if they think their riders are making poor decisions.</td> </tr> <tr><td><center>Purple #7D26CD <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/purplebase-1.png"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>Princess Female 0/5 Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Clutch: 3-10, rarely Impress: heterosexual and bisexual females Caught: Bronze, Irons, Brown, Blue Length: 30-35m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: </div> </td> <td><a name=purple></a>DEscriptION.</td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Blue #003F87 <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/bluebase-1.png"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>Common Male 0/8 Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Impress: heterosexual males, bisexual males, homosexual males, masculine bisexual females and homosexual females Catch: Purple, Green Length: 26-31m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: </div> </td> <td><a name=blue></a>Blue dragons are one of the smallest males and make up about a third of all dragons on Pern. They are nearly as agile as greens, but unlike the greens, they often have enough stamina to last for an entire Threadfall. They mate only with greens and purples, as they are simply too small to keep up with a massive queen over a long mating flight. Their hides can range from pale blue to bright blue to nearly black in color. Blues are considered the best dragons for search purposes and are very empathic.</td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Red #CD0000 <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/redbase.png"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>Common Male 0/10 Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Impress: heterosexual females, bisexual females, homosexual females, heterosexual males, bisexual males and homosexual males Catch: Green Length: 23-28m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: </div> </td> <td><a name=red></a>DEscriptION.</td> </tr><tr> <td><center>Green #488214 <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/SorrowsForgotten/Sites/greenbase.png"> <a href=#top>Back to Top</a></center></td> <td><center>Common Female 0/10 Available</center></td> <td><div align=left>Clutch: None Impress: heterosexual males, bisexual males, homosexual males, heterosexual females, bisexual females, and homosexual females Caught: Bronze, Iron, Brown, Blue, Red Length: 21-27m Shoulder Height: Wing Span: Flame: </div> </td> <td><a name=green></a>Green dragons are the smallest normal color, and make up about half of all dragons on Pern.
