Remarks

Use the Align property to specify the horizontal alignment of the content in a cell represented by an instance of the HtmlTableCell class.

Note

Setting this property affects only the cell represented by an instance of the HtmlTableCell class. To apply the same alignment to the cells of an entire row in the table, set the Align property of the row represented by an instance of the HtmlTableRow class.

The following table lists the values that can be used for this property.

Value Description
Left Aligns the contents of a cell with the left edge of the cell.
Center Aligns the contents of a cell in the middle of the cell.
Right Aligns the contents of a cell with the right edge of the cell.

Note

You can also use Justify and Char as values for this property; however, not all browsers support these features.
