<h2 id="Attributes">Attributes</h2>

<p>This element includes the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes">global attributes</a>.</p>

<dl>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("abbr")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute contains a short abbreviated description of the cell's content. Some user-agents, such as speech readers, may present this description before the content itself.</dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("align")}} {{obsolete_inline("html5")}}</dt>
 <dd>This enumerated attribute specifies how the cell content's horizontal alignment will be handled. Possible values are:
 <ul>
  <li><code>left</code>: The content is aligned to the left of the cell.</li>
  <li><code>center</code>: The content is centered in the cell.</li>
  <li><code>right</code>: The content is aligned to the right of the cell.</li>
  <li><code>justify</code> (with text only): The content is stretched out inside the cell so that it covers its entire width.</li>
  <li><code>char</code> (with text only): The content is aligned to a character inside the <code>&lt;th&gt;</code> element with minimal offset. This character is defined by the {{htmlattrxref("char", "th")}} and {{htmlattrxref("charoff", "th")}} attributes.</li>
 </ul>

 <p>The default value when this attribute is not specified is <code>left</code>.</p>

 <div class="note"><strong>Note: </strong>Do not use this attribute as it is obsolete in the latest standard.

 <ul>
  <li>To achieve the same effect as the <code>left</code>, <code>center</code>, <code>right</code> or <code>justify</code> values, apply the CSS {{cssxref("text-align")}} property to the element.</li>
  <li>To achieve the same effect as the <code>char</code> value, give the {{cssxref("text-align")}} property the same value you would use for the {{htmlattrxref("char", "th")}}. {{unimplemented_inline}} in CSS3.</li>
 </ul>
 </div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("axis")}} {{obsolete_inline("html5")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute contains a list of space-separated strings. Each string is the <code>id</code> of a group of cells that this header applies to.
 <div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Do not use this attribute as it is obsolete in the latest standard: use the {{htmlattrxref("scope", "th")}} attribute instead.</div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("bgcolor")}} {{Non-standard_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute defines the background color of each cell in a column. It consists of a 6-digit hexadecimal code as defined in <a href="https://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/sRGB">sRGB</a> and is prefixed by '#'. This attribute may be used with one of sixteen predefined color strings:

 <div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Do not use this attribute, as it is non-standard and only implemented in some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer: The {{HTMLElement("th")}} element should be styled using <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS">CSS</a>. To create a similar effect use the {{cssxref("background-color")}} property in <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS">CSS</a> instead.</div>
 </dd>
</dl>

<dl>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("char")}} {{obsolete_inline("html5")}}</dt>
 <dd>The content in the cell element is aligned to a character. Typical values include a period (.) to align numbers or monetary values. If {{htmlattrxref("align", "th")}} is not set to <code>char</code>, this attribute is ignored.
 <div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Do not use this attribute as it is obsolete in the latest standard. To achieve the same effect, you can specify the character as the first value of the {{cssxref("text-align")}} property, {{unimplemented_inline}} in CSS3.</div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("charoff")}} {{obsolete_inline("html5")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute is used to shift column data to the right of the character specified by the <strong>char</strong> attribute. Its value specifies the length of this shift.
 <div class="note"><strong>Note: </strong>Do not use this attribute as it is obsolete in the latest standard.</div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("colspan")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute contains a non-negative integer value that indicates for how many columns the cell extends. Its default value is <code>1</code>. Values higher than 1000 will be considered as incorrect and will be set to the default value (1).</dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("headers")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute contains a list of space-separated strings, each corresponding to the <strong>id</strong> attribute of the {{HTMLElement("th")}} elements that apply to this element.</dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("height")}} {{Deprecated_inline("html 4")}}, {{obsolete_inline("html5")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute is used to define a recommended cell height.
 <div class="note"><strong>Note: </strong>Do not use this attribute as it is obsolete in the latest standard: use the CSS {{cssxref("height")}} property instead.</div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("rowspan")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute contains a non-negative integer value that indicates for how many rows the cell extends. Its default value is <code>1</code>; if its value is set to <code>0</code>, it extends until the end of the table section ({{HTMLElement("thead")}}, {{HTMLElement("tbody")}}, {{HTMLElement("tfoot")}}, even if implicitly defined), that the cell belongs to. Values higher than 65534 are clipped down to 65534.</dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("scope")}}</dt>
 <dd>This enumerated attribute defines the cells that the header (defined in the {{HTMLElement("th")}}) element relates to. It may have the following values:
 <ul>
  <li><code>row</code>: The header relates to all cells of the row it belongs to.</li>
  <li><code>col</code>: The header relates to all cells of the column it belongs to.</li>
  <li><code>rowgroup</code>: The header belongs to a rowgroup and relates to all of its cells. These cells can be placed to the right or the left of the header, depending on the value of the <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/dir">dir</a></code> attribute in the {{HTMLElement("table")}} element.</li>
  <li><code>colgroup</code>: The header belongs to a colgroup and relates to all of its cells.</li>
  <li><code>auto</code></li>
 </ul>

 <p>The default value when this attribute is not specified is <code>auto</code>.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("valign")}} {{obsolete_inline("html5")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute specifies how a text is vertically aligned inside a cell. Possible values for this attribute are:
 <ul>
  <li><code>baseline</code>: Positions the text near the bottom of the cell and aligns it with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline_%28typography%29">baseline</a> of the characters instead of the bottom. If characters don't descend below the baseline, the baseline value achieves the same effect as <code>bottom</code>.</li>
  <li><code>bottom</code>: Positions the text near the bottom of the cell.</li>
  <li><code>middle</code>: Centers the text in the cell.</li>
  <li>and <code>top</code>: Positions the text near the top of the cell.</li>
 </ul>

 <div class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Do not use this attribute as it is obsolete in the latest standard: use the CSS {{cssxref("vertical-align")}} property instead.</div>
 </dd>
 <dt>{{htmlattrdef("width")}} {{Deprecated_inline("html 4")}}, {{obsolete_inline("html5")}}</dt>
 <dd>This attribute is used to define a recommended cell width. Additional space can be added with the {{domxref("HTMLTableElement.cellSpacing", "cellspacing")}} and {{domxref("HTMLTableElement.cellPadding", "cellpadding")}} properties and the width of the {{HTMLElement("col")}} element can also create extra width. But, if a column's width is too narrow to show a particular cell properly, it will be widened when displayed.
