How to add a left column onto this page?

I'm trying to modify this existing script to look like my Home page.

My Home web page has a left column.

I tried to add this line to this script page (code shown below):

<td width="174" align="left"valign="top" bgcolor="#A30100">

Code (markup):

which I believed would show the left column.

But, I know I need to add some other code. It appears that the column is flattened, and to the left, above the rest of this script page, instead of next-to the rest of this page. Can you help me? I've provided a truncated version of this page as an aid to someone helping me. Thanks.

<link href="../style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /><style type="text/css"></style>

<table cellpadding="0" width="770" height="100%" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border-right: solid 1px #6b6b6b">

<td width="174" align="left"valign="top" bgcolor="#A30100">

<form method="POST" action="index.php">
<tr>
	  <td width="140" rowspan="21" id="menu">&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
	
	<input class='field' type='hidden' name='command' value='account'>
	<input class='field' type='hidden' name='param' value='signup'>
	<tr>
	  <td class='pageTitle'><span class="hLine"> <font face="Arial" color=#000000" size="3" Style="padding: 5px;">&nbsp;Create New Account</span></td>
	  <td class='pageTitle'>&nbsp;</td>
	</tr>
	
	<tr>
	  <td class='fieldLabel' width="30%"><font face="Arial" color=#000000" size="3" Style="padding: 5px;">&nbsp;Membership Type</td>
		<td align="center">[account_type_panel]</td></tr>
	
	<tr>
	  <td class='fieldLabel' width="30%"> <font face="Arial" color=#000000" size="3" Style="padding: 5px;">&nbsp;Email Address</td>
		<td><input class='field' type='text' size='40' maxlength="30" name='user_name' value='<?=$account->user_name ?>'>
			<span class='requiredField'>&nbsp;*&nbsp;</span><br> Your files <span class='errorMessage'><?=$account->get_error('user_name') ?></span></td>
	</tr>
	</form>
</table>

Code (markup):

 

This has nothing to do with PHP. Try asking here:

i think you need a space =P
Here is what you have:
align="left"valign="top"

Should be:
align="left" valign="top"

Maybe I'm wrong, but looked kinda obvious to me.
