Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ float table at the top of the page

[alfabre]

Hi,

I have a short question. I made a table for my glossary. The last table is really short and I would like to get this table at the top of my page. I do not managed.
Here is what I have written:

\begin{table}[!t]
\center
\begin{tabular}{p{3cm} p{11cm}}

\bf{Symbol} & \bf{Meaning} \\
& \\
\hline
& \\
$\lambda$ & Insulation conductivity\\
$\Phi$ & Power of the heat losses through the pipe and toward the ground\\
$\rho$ & Water density\\
$\xi$ & Pressure drop coefficient\\
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:Glossary_C28}
\end{table}

I get the table in the middle of the page and I would prefer to get it at the top.
Somebody could help me?
Thanks a lot

i have the same issue using figures when they are the only thing to appear on a page. using or not using \cleardouble page, if there is only one figure on the page and no other text, it places it at the centre not the top. tried changing to [!th] but that didn't work. couldn't find an answer via google either.
fwiw my code is below although to me it seems more a question of how to do something rather than error (but then i don't really know much about latex!)

\begin{figure}[!htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{images/chap04/text}
\caption{text}
\label{text}
\end{figure}

\cleardoublepage

See the TeX FAQ for a solution [1]. This will affect all float pages.
