<p>Интерфейс <strong><span class="external"><code>HTMLTableCellElement</code></span></strong> содержит специальные свойства и методы (beyond the regular {{domxref("HTMLElement")}} interface it also has available to it by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of table cells, either header or data cells, in an HTML document.</p>

<h2 id="Properties" name="Properties">Properties</h2>

<p><em>Inherits properties from its parent, {{domxref("HTMLElement")}}.</em></p>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.colSpan")}}</dt>
 <dd>Is an <code>unsigned</code> <code>long</code> that represents the number of columns this cell must span. It reflects the {{htmlattrxref("colspan", "td")}} attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.rowSpan")}}</dt>
 <dd>Is an <code>unsigned</code> <code>long</code> that represents the number of rows this cell must span. It reflects the {{htmlattrxref("rowspan", "td")}} attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.headers")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMSettableTokenList")}} describing a list of <code>id</code> of {{HTMLElement("th")}} elements that represents headers associated with the cell. It reflects the {{htmlattrxref("headers", "td")}} attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.cellIndex")}} {{readonlyInline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a <code>long</code> representing the cell position in the cells collection of the {{HTMLElement("tr")}} it belongs to. If the cell doesn't belong to a <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code>, it returns <code>-1</code>.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.align")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} containing an enumerated value reflecting the {{htmlattrxref("align", "td")}} attribute. It indicates the alignment of the element's contents with respect to the surrounding context. The possible values are <code>"left"</code>, <code>"right"</code>, and <code>"center"</code>.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.bgColor")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} containing the background color of the cells. It reflects the obsolete {{htmlattrxref("bgColor", "td")}} attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.axis")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} containing a name grouping cells in virtual. It reflects the obsolete {{htmlattrxref("axis", "td")}} attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.height")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} containing a length of pixel of the hinted height of the cell. It reflects the obsolete {{htmlattrxref("height", "td")}} attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.width")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} containing a length of pixel of the hinted width of the cell. It reflects the obsolete {{htmlattrxref("width", "td")}} attribute.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.ch")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} containing one single chararcter. This character is the one to align all the cell of a column on. It reflects the {{htmlattrxref("char", "td")}} and default to the decimal points associated with the language, e.g. <code>'.'</code> for English, or <code>','</code> for French. This property was optional and was not very well supported.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.chOff")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} containing a integer indicating how many characters must be left at the right (for left-to-right scripts; or at the left for right-to-left scripts) of the character defined by <code>HTMLTableCellElement.ch</code>. This property was optional and was not very well supported.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.noWrap")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("Boolean")}} value reflecting the {{htmlattrxref("nowrap", "td")}} attribute and indicating if cell content can be broken in several lines.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLTableCellElement.vAlign")}} {{obsolete_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{domxref("DOMString")}} representing an enumerated value indicating how the content of the cell must be vertically aligned. It reflects the {{htmlattrxref("valign", "td")}} attribute and can have one of the following values: <code>"top"</code>, <code>"middle"</code>, <code>"bottom"</code>, or <code>"baseline"</code>.</dd>
