<h3 id="Deprecated_attributes">Deprecated attributes</h3>

<p>The following attributes are deprecated and should not be used. They are documented below for reference when updating existing code and for historical interest only.</p>

<dl>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("align")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>This enumerated attribute specifies how horizontal alignment of each column cell content will be handled. Possible values are:
 <ul>
  <li><code>left</code>, aligning the content to the left of the cell</li>
  <li><code>center</code>, centering the content in the cell</li>
  <li><code>right</code>, aligning the content to the right of the cell</li>
  <li><code>justify</code>, inserting spaces into the textual content so that the content is justified in the cell</li>
 </ul>

 <p>If this attribute is not set, its value is inherited from the {{htmlattrxref("align", "colgroup")}} of the {{HTMLElement("colgroup")}} element this <code>&lt;col&gt;</code> element belongs too. If there are none, the <code>left</code> value is assumed.</p>

 <div class="note"><strong>Note: </strong>

 <ul>
  <li>To achieve the same effect as the <code>left</code>, <code>center</code>, <code>right</code> or <code>justify</code> values:

   <ul>
    <li>Do not try to set the {{cssxref("text-align")}} property on a selector giving a <code>&lt;col&gt;</code> element. Because {{HTMLElement("td")}} elements are not descendant of the <code>&lt;col&gt;</code> element, they won't inherit it.</li>
    <li>If the table doesn't use a {{htmlattrxref("colspan", "td")}} attribute, use the <code>td:nth-child(an+b)</code> CSS selector. Set <code>a</code> to zero and <code>b </code>to the position of the column in the table, e.g. <code>td:nth-child(2) { text-align: right; }</code> to right-align the second column.</li>
    <li>If the table does use a {{htmlattrxref("colspan", "td")}} attribute, the effect can be achieved by combining adequate CSS attribute selectors like <code>[colspan=n]</code>, though this is not trivial.</li>
   </ul>
  </li>
 </ul>
 </div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("bgcolor")}} {{Deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>
 <p>The background color of the table. It is a <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value#RGB_colors">6-digit hexadecimal RGB code</a>, prefixed by a '<code>#</code>'. One of the predefined <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value#Color_keywords">color kewords</a> can also be used.</p>

 <p>To achieve a similar effect, use the CSS {{cssxref("background-color")}} property.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("char")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute is used to set the character to align the cells in a column on. Typical values for this include a period (.) when attempting to align numbers or monetary values. If {{htmlattrxref("align", "col")}} is not set to <code>char</code>, this attribute is ignored.</dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("charoff")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute is used to indicate the number of characters to offset the column data from the alignment characters specified by the <code>char</code> attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("valign")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute specifies the vertical alignment of the text within each cell of the column. Possible values for this attribute are:
 <ul>
  <li><code>baseline</code>, which will put the text as close to the bottom of the cell as it is possible, but align it on the <a class="external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline_%28typography%29">baseline</a> of the characters instead of the bottom of them. If characters are all of the size, this has the same effect as <code>bottom</code>.</li>
  <li><code>bottom</code>, which will put the text as close to the bottom of the cell as it is possible;</li>
  <li><code>middle</code>, which will center the text in the cell;</li>
  <li>and <code>top</code>, which will put the text as close to the top of the cell as it is possible.</li>
 </ul>

 <div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong>

 <ul>
  <li>Do not try to set the {{cssxref("vertical-align")}} property on a selector giving a <code>&lt;col&gt;</code> element. Because {{HTMLElement("td")}} elements are not descendant of the <code>&lt;col&gt;</code> element, they won't inherit it.</li>
  <li>If the table doesn't use a {{htmlattrxref("colspan", "td")}} attribute, use the <code>td:nth-child(an+b)</code> CSS selector where a is the total number of the columns in the table and b is the ordinal position of the column in the table. Only after this selector the <code>vertical-align</code> property can be used.</li>
  <li>If the table does use a {{htmlattrxref("colspan", "td")}} attribute, the effect can be achieved by combining adequate CSS attribute selectors like <code>[colspan=n]</code>, though this is not trivial.</li>
 </ul>
 </div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("width")}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute specifies a default width for each column in the current column group. In addition to the standard pixel and percentage values, this attribute might take the special form <code>0*</code>, which means that the width of each column in the group should be the minimum width necessary to hold the column's contents. Relative widths such as <code>0.5*</code> also can be used.</dd>
