Hello everyone! I am currently learning HTML and CSS and I have a problem smile.gif When creating a table and entering data in it, I used valign in the code (Used for vertical centering of text). However, valign does not work in every cell but only in those I used rowspan ( Used to vertically join cells in different rows)

For example: <td valign = "top" rowspan = "3"> 4 </td> here vertically centers the text to the top without any problems

However when I apply this to a regular cell where I did not use rowspan for example like this

<td valign = "bottom"> 3 </td> It doesn't center the data I entered in the cell vertically at all.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

I will be very grateful for the answer biggrin.gif

I used valign in the code (Used for vertical centering of text).

Actually "middle" is the default value for VALIGN, so you shouldn't need to specify it at all if you want text in the vertical mid.

I don't think the OP wants it centered, he probably meant aligned. He uses valign="bottom".
