HTMLTableSectionElement: align property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}{{deprecated_header}}

The align property of the {{domxref("HTMLTableSectionElement")}} interface is a string indicating how to horizontally align text in a {{htmlelement("thead")}}, {{htmlelement("tbody")}} or {{htmlelement("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 {{cssxref("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.
• right
  • : 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 {{cssxref("text-align")}} page.
