HTML is ignoring valign - html

Question

So I am building the final page of an online exhibit I am working on. The final page uses the exact same format as an earlier page in the exhibit (with an image to the left and a paragraph to the right of the image) so I just copy/pasted all the code and changed URLs, text, and dimensions of images and td elements as I needed to. I have changed nothing to do with the alignment of the various elements on the page, but now I have an element that is basically ignoring td valign="top" and appears to be aligned to center instead. I've done a line by line comparison of the html of the new page with the original but I can't find anything that should have changed it. Basically the text part of the page (title of page and body of page) should start on the same line as the top of the image, but instead it's starting in the center after a huge amount of white space.
Here's the particular table in question with the text and full URLs removed to make it a bit shorter:
<table width="917" border="0"></br>
<tr>
<td width="400" valign="top">
<table width="10" border="1" align="center" bordercolor="#8AC3C9">
<tr>
<td width="184" bordercolor="#8AC3C9"><div align="center"><img src="*image*" alt="image" width="400" height="267" hspace="1" vspace="1" border="0" align="middle"></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bordercolor="#8AC3C9" bgcolor="#8AC3C9"><div align="center" class="style2">*Image*</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
<td width="500" "valign="top"><div align="center"><font size="+2" face="Georgia"><b>*Title of page*</b></font></div></br>
<div align="justify"><font face="Georgia">*Body of page*
</div></td>
</tr>

Answer 1

There is a " in front of valign, so it's not reading the attribute.
<td width="500" "valign="top"><div align="center">
The full code should be:
<table width="917" border="0"></br>
<tr>
<td width="400" valign="top">
<table width="10" border="1" align="center" bordercolor="#8AC3C9">
<tr>
<td width="184" bordercolor="#8AC3C9"><div align="center"><img src="http://placehold.it/400x267" alt="image" width="400" height="267" hspace="1" vspace="1" border="0" align="middle"></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bordercolor="#8AC3C9" bgcolor="#8AC3C9"><div align="center" class="style2">*Image*</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
<td width="500" "valign="top"><div align="center"><font size="+2" face="Georgia"><b>*Title of page*</b></font></div></br>
<div align="justify"><font face="Georgia">*Body of page*
</div></td>
</tr>
