HTMLTableCellElement: vAlign property

Deprecated

Avoid using this feature in new projects. Some table styling attributes have no effect. They are superseded by CSS. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.

The vAlign property of the HTMLTableCellElement interface is a string indicating how to vertically align text in a <th> or <td> table cell.

Note: This property is deprecated. Use the CSS vertical-align property to vertically align text in a cell instead.

Value

The possible values are: "top", "middle", "bottom", or "baseline"

top

Align the text to the top of the cell. Use vertical-align: top instead.

center

Vertically center the text in the cell. Synonym of middle. Use vertical-align: middle instead.

middle

Vertically center the text in the cell. Use vertical-align: middle instead.

bottom

Align the text to the bottom of the cell. Use vertical-align: bottom instead.

baseline

Similar to top, but align the baseline of the text as close to the top so no part of the character is outside of the cell.

Examples

Use CSS vertical-align instead, which takes precedence, as demonstrated in the vertical alignment table cells example.
