Syntax
Description
The
align attribute can be used to override the default
horizontal alignment of text inside table cells contained within the
tfoot. On the assumption that th
(table headers) have been used inside the thead area
and td elements are used for normal data, the default
alignment is for text to be ranged left. However, by applying the
align attribute to the tfoot,
you could change that, for example, to "center" or
"right" (as shown in the example
HTML).
Example
This tfoot will
set all text inside the nested td elements to the
right:
<table summary="Interest Rates" width="400" border="1">
<caption>Interest Rates</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Account Type</th>
<th>Interest Rate</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot align="right">
<tr>
<td>Recommended for you: 'Young Saver'</td>
<td>Interest from: 1.6%</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Smart</td>
<td>From 2%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Young Saver</td>
<td>From 1.6%</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Value
The recognized attribute values are as shown in the syntax section.

In the browsers
tested, the "left", "right",
"center", and "justify" alignments
are honored, but the "char" value—used alongside the
char and charoff attributes—is
ignored by all (or incorrectly interpreted as
"center").
