Images also have their own horizontal and vertical alignment properties. However, every browser treats these properties slightly differently. The different attributes are defined below. The problem is that while most of these attributes do the same thing, how they look differs from browser to browser. In Netscape and MS Internet Explorer there are actually only 3 vertical different alignments you can choose.
Left |
Selecting this option causes the image to float to the current left with content flowing around it. |
Right |
Selecting this option causes the image to float to the current right margin with content flowing around it. |
Top, Texttop |
Selecting this option aligns the top of the image with the top of the current text line. |
Middle |
The effect of this option depends on the web browser. For example, with Netscape this option aligns the baseline/bottom of the image with the baseline of the current text line. With Internet Explorer 3 this option aligns the center of the image with the absolute middle of the text. |
Absmiddle |
Selecting this option aligns the center of the image with the absolute middle of the text. The absolute middle of the text is the midpoint between the absolute top and bottom (i.e., the top and the bottom of the envelope around the text) of the text. |
Baseline, Bottom |
Selecting this option aligns the baseline/bottom of the image with the baseline of the current text line. This is the default alignment. |
Absbottom |
Selecting this option aligns the bottom of the image with the absolute bottom of the text. The bottom of the envelope surrounding the text is aligned with the bottom of the image. |
For more detailed information regarding image alignment, refer to the discussion about changing the way text flows within paragraphs. Alternatively, see the instructions on inserting images for detailed information about the different image properties.
