Name

ALIGN — NN 2 IE 3 HTML 3.2

Synopsis

ALIGN=”alignmentConstant"

Optional

The ALIGN attribute determines how the rectangle of the applet aligns within the context of surrounding content. See Section 8.1.5 earlier in this chapter for description of the possibilities defined in both Navigator and Internet Explorer for this attribute. Only a subset of the allowed constant values is specified in the HTML recommendation. Although Navigator included this attribute in Version 2, only BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, and TOP were implemented in that version.

Both browsers follow the same rules on laying out content surrounding an applet whose ALIGN attribute is set, but the actual results are sometimes difficult to predict when the surrounding content is complex. A thorough testing of rendering possibilities with browser windows set to various sizes prevents surprises later.

Example

<APPLET CODE="simpleClock.class" NAME="myClock" ALIGN=ABSMIDDLE 
WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=50></APPLET>

Value

Case-insensitive constant value.
