Please advise on how I can get this content (from "Choose a Map" down
to the "Show Map" button) to be positioned at the top of this table
cell.

Please see:

I know I should not be using HTML tables for presentation structure
but this is legacy stuff I need to modify quickly.

1. Ick
2. That much JavaScript should be moved to external .js files.
3. <td id="mapSelection" width="20%" valign="top">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^--add this
4. Ick.

No worries, Ben C provided an even better answer (with actual CSS) over
in c.i.w.a.h even before I posted mine here.

You could try:

<td id="mapSelection" width="20%" valign="top">

On in stylesheet, (this is ciwas right?),

#mapSelection { vertical-align: top; }

or

TD { vertical-align: top; }

if you want change the default and have all of your tables cell aligned
at the top.
