HTML DOM Table Header vAlign Property

The HTML DOM TableHeader vAlign property is used to set or return the value of the vAlign attribute of the <th> element. The vAlign attribute is used to specify the vertical alignment of the text-content inside the Table Header.

Note: This property is no longer supported in HTML5.

Syntax:

  • It returns the Table Header vAlign Property. 
TableHeaderobject.vAlign;
  • It sets the Table Header vAlign Property. 
TableHeaderobject.vAlign = "top|middle|bottom|baseline";

  Property Values:

  • top: It sets the content to the top-align.
  • middle: It sets the content to middle-align.
  • bottom: It sets the content to the bottom-align.
  • baseline: It sets the context to baseline. The baseline is the line where most of the characters sit.

Return Value: It returns a string value that represents the vertical alignment of the Table Header. 

We will utilize the above property values & will understand its implementation through the example.

Example 1: Below code illustrates how to return the vAlign property.
