valign
Sets vertical alignment of row or cell to top, middle, bottom or baseline

Example: <tr valign="top">, <td valign="middle">

Use the <TR> tag when v-aligning all the cells in a row. Use <TD> when aligning individual cells

To insure that the table is formatted exactly the way you want, always set the valign attribute for all cells in the table

(Table height has been set so v-alignment effects are more apparent)

By Row
row 1. valign="top"
row 2. valign="middle"
row 3. valign="bottom"
(table height=120)
a b c
d e f
g h i

By Individual Cells
column 1. valign="top"
column 2. valign="middle"
column 3. valign="bottom"
(table height=120)
a b c
d e f
g h i

Individual Cells
a,b,g. valign="top"
c,d,h. valign="middle"
e,f,i. valign="bottom"
a b c
d e f
g h i

Even though there is no HTML tag for v-aligning a column, some editors have a feature that allows you to set v-alignment for all cells in a column simultaneously. If your editor doesn't have this feature, you must set each cell individually.
