Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

ALIGN — NN all IE all HTML 3.2

Synopsis

ALIGN=”alignmentConstant"

Optional

Determines how the rectangle of the input image aligns within the context of the surrounding content. See Section 8.1.5 earlier in this chapter for a description of the possibilities defined in both Navigator and Internet Explorer for this attribute. Not all attribute values are valid in browsers prior to the Version 4 releases.

Both browsers follow the same rules on laying out content surrounding an image whose ALIGN attribute is set, but the actual results are sometimes difficult to predict when the surrounding content is complex. A thorough testing of rendering possibilities with browser windows set to various sizes prevents surprises later.

Example

<INPUT TYPE="image" NAME="icon" SRC="icon.gif" ALIGN="absmiddle">
