Syntax
valign=" { baseline | bottom | middle | top } "
Description
In a very similar manner to
the align attribute for this element, the
valign allows you to override the default alignment
for table cells inside the foot of the table.
Example
The valign
attribute is set to "top" on this narrow
table:
<table summary="Interest Rates" width="200" border="1">
<caption>Interest Rates</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Account Type</th>
<th>Interest Rate</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot valign="top">
<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, "bottom", "middle", and
"top" alignments are honored, but the
"baseline" value is ignored by
all.
