Browser Support

The valign attribute is supported only in Internet Explorer and Opera. However, IE and Opera do not support the value "baseline".

Definition and Usage

The <colgroup> valign attribute is not supported in HTML5.

The valign attribute specifies the vertical alignment of the content in a column group.

Syntax

Attribute Values

Value	Description
top	Top-align content
middle	Center-align content
bottom	Bottom-align content
baseline	The baseline is the "imaginary line" which most letters "sit" on, in a line of text. The baseline value sets the row so that all the table data share the same baseline. Often this has the same effect as the bottom value. However, if the fonts are in different sizes, baseline looks better. Look at the illustration below
