Remarks

Use the Align property to specify the alignment of the HtmlTable control in relation to other elements on the Web page.

Note

This property does not control the alignment of the contents in the cells of the HtmlTable control. To control the alignment of contents of an individual cell, use the Align and VAlign properties of the HtmlTableCell class. You can also control the alignment of contents of the cells in an entire row by using the Align and VAlign properties of the HtmlTableRow class.

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

Value	Description
`Left`	Aligns the HtmlTable control on the left edge of the Web page.
`Center`	Aligns the HtmlTable control in the middle of the Web page.
`Right`	Aligns the HtmlTable control on the right edge of the Web page.

Note

If you specify Left or Right alignment, other elements on the Web page will wrap to the right or left of the HtmlTable control, respectively. If you specify Center alignment, no wrapping occurs and other elements appear below the control.
