Name
VALIGN — NN n/a IE 3 HTML n/a
Synopsis
VALIGN=”where"
Optional
The VALIGN
attribute was Internet Explorer’s
early attribute for placing a table caption above or below the table.
Although this attribute is now a part of the ALIGN
attribute, IE’s special way of handling
left
, center
, and
right
values of the ALIGN
attribute give VALIGN
something to do. For
example, you can use VALIGN
to set the caption
below the table, and use ALIGN="right"
to
right-align the caption at the bottom. This combination is not
possible with the HTML 4.0 attribute. The VALIGN
attribute is in IE 4 for backward compatibility, if for no other
reason.
Example
<CAPTION ALIGN="right" VALIGN="bottom">Table 3-2. Fiber Content.</CAPTION>
Value
Two possible case-insensitive values: bottom
|
top
.
Default
top
