Example
The align for
this iframe is set to
"right":
<iframe src="iframe-content.html" height="200" width="200" frameborder="1" align="right"> <p>Your browser does not support iframes. That kinda sucks, eh?</p> </iframe>
Description
The align
attribute is used to specify how the iframe sits on the
page in relation to surrounding text and other elements. It is a fairly
rudimentary attribute - and a very presentational one - that allows you to
move the frame to the right or left, with text wrapping around accordingly
(although with no surrounding white space, which generally results in
quite an ugly result). You can also change the way that adjacent text
aligns with the image such that the first line of the text aligns with the
top, middle or bottom of the image.
Value
"bottom",
"left", "middle",
"right" and "top" only (default is
"bottom").

This attribute is 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.
