The advanced search screen uses HTML valign attribute to format content

[Jane Sandberg]

WCAG 2.0 G140 asks us to use CSS for formatting and HTML for structure (see https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G140). Using the valign attribute of an HTML tag violates this rule. The valign attribute is used several times on the advanced search screen. I quickly checked what the display looks like with this attribute removed, and I noticed no differences in Firefox. Therefore, I propose that the valign attribute be removed throughout the advanced search page.

Pushed to master. Thanks, jane and Sam!

I've elected not to bother backporting this one, since as far as I can tell, valign does absolutely nothing outside for tags used for HTML tables. I note, however, that we do still have a bunch of table tags (<tr>, <td>, etc.) using the valign attribute.
