Vertical alignment set Top, but displays Middle alignment

Hi All:

In the detail line of my table, I have set the whole row as VerticalAlign to Top.  In the rdl xml the default vertical align attribute is Top, so it does not set the attribute in the rdl xml.  In preview and report manager the report looks fine.  Using a ReportViewer control in a web app one field displays Middle alignment.  Viewing the rendered html is an eye opening experience.  In report manager it declares styles as follows:

.r11{WIDTH:100%;overflow-x:hidden}

and its cell entry like the following:

<TD class="a110"><DIV class="r11">280000</DIV></TD>

But viewing it for reportviewer control, it has tons of inline style in the table cell.  All table cells have "vertical-align:Top;", except for the cell in question.  It seem that in html the default valign value in a table is middle.  Thus since vertical-align style is missing it defaluts to middle.

Any suggestion or work arounds?
