Deprecated attributes
The following attributes are deprecated and should not be used. They are documented below for reference when updating existing code and for historical interest only.

left
, aligning the content to the left of the cellcenter
, centering the content in the cellright
, aligning the content to the right of the celljustify
, inserting spaces into the textual content so that the content is justified in the cellchar
, aligning the textual content on a special character with a minimal offset, defined by thechar
andcharoff
attributes.
If this attribute is not set, the
left
value is assumed.Note:
- To achieve the same effect as the
left
,center
,right
orjustify
values, use the CSStext-align
property on it. - To achieve the same effect as the
char
value, in CSS, you can use the value of thechar
as the value of thetext-align
property.
bgcolor
Deprecated-
The background color of the table. It is a 6-digit hexadecimal RGB code, prefixed by a '
#
'. One of the predefined color keywords can also be used.To achieve a similar effect, use the CSS
background-color
property. char

, this attribute is ignored. charoff
Deprecated-
This attribute is used to indicate the number of characters to offset the column data from the alignment characters specified by the
char

This attribute specifies the vertical alignment of the text within each row of cells of the table footer. Possible values for this attribute are:
baseline
, which will put the text as close to the bottom of the cell as it is possible, but align it on the baseline of the characters instead of the bottom of them. If characters are all of the size, this has the same effect asbottom
.bottom

, which will center the text in the cell;- and
top
, which will put the text as close to the top of the cell as it is possible.

vertical-align
property on it.
