hspace (HTML attribute)
| Depr. | Version |
|---|---|
| Yes | N/A |
hspace="surrounding horizontal space in pixels"
Example
The hspace
attribute set to "20" pixels around a left-aligned
embed object:
<embed src="giant-grasshopper.jpg" hspace="20" align="left"></embed>
Description
Whenembed
content is aligned left or right, text will
flow around the image but with no space between it and the image. The
hspace (and related vspace) attribute
provides a bit of ‘breathing space’, but it will apply a space on both
sides of the embed which is not entirely flexible, as
shown in Figure 1.Figure 1. Embedded image with hspace of 20 applied (note the space either
side of the object)
Value
A number representing the width of
spacing either side of the embed content in
pixels.
Compatibility
Although support for this attribute is good, it’s now deprecated, and is highly presentational in its nature. The desired visual effects can all be achieved with CSS and, as such, this attribute shouldn’t be used—it’s presented here for informational purposes only.
