HTMLTableSectionElement: align 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 They are superseded by CSS.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 align property of the HTMLTableSectionElement interface is a string indicating how to horizontally align text in a <thead>, <tbody> or <tfoot> table section. Individual rows and cells can override it.

Note: This property is deprecated, and CSS should be used to align text horizontally in a cell. Use the CSS text-align property, which takes precedence, to horizontally align text in section cells instead.

Value

The possible values are:

left

Align the text to the left. Use text-align: left instead.

Align the text to the right. Use text-align: right instead.

center

Center the text in the cell. Use text-align: center instead.

Examples

Use CSS text-align instead. An example is available on the text-align page.
