Definition and Usage

HTML5 The <td> valign attribute is not supported. Please use CSS instead.

The valign attribute specifies the vertical alignment of the content within the cell.

Syntax

<td valign="top|middle|bottom|baseline">

Attribute Value

Value	Description
top	Align content upward.
middle	Align content to the center (default value).
bottom	Align content downward.
baseline	Align content to the baseline. The baseline is a fictional line. In a line of text, most letters are based on the baseline. The baseline value sets all table data in a line to share the same baseline. The effect of this value is often the same as the bottom value. However, if the text sizes are different, the baseline effect is better. Please see the illustration below.

Illustration of bottom vs. baseline when text sizes are different:

valign="baseline"
