HTMLTableSectionElement: vAlign property

View on MDN ↗

The vAlign property of the HTMLTableSectionElement interface is a string indicating how to vertically align text in a <thead>, <tbody> or <tfoot> table section. Individual rows and cells can override it.

[!NOTE] This property is deprecated. Use the CSS vertical-align property to horizontally align text in section cells 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.
