attribute, the valign attribute allows you
to override the default vertical alignment for content within table cells
related to the col in question.
Example
Here, the
valign is set to "bottom" for
cells that appear in the first column of the table:
<table border="1" cellpadding="5">
<col valign="bottom"/>
<col/>
<col/>
<col/>
<tr>
<th colspan="4">Work Contact Points</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Phone</th>
<th>Floor/Block</th>
</tr>
⋮
<table>

The recognized attribute values are as shown in the syntax section.
