<p>The <strong class=html>TR</strong> element defines a <em>table row</em>. <strong class=html>TR</strong> elements must be contained within a <em>row group</em> defined by <strong class=html><a href="thead.html">THEAD</a></strong>, <strong class=html><a href="tfoot.html">TFOOT</a></strong>, or <strong class=html><a href="tbody.html">TBODY</a></strong>. Since the start and end tags of <strong class=html>TBODY</strong> are optional when the table has one <strong class=html>TBODY</strong> and no <strong class=html>THEAD</strong> or <strong class=html>TFOOT</strong>, the simple table structure of <a href="../../wilbur/index.html">HTML3.2</a> is still valid:</p>
<pre class=example><code class=html><TABLE>
<strong><TR></strong>
<TH>Abbreviation</TH>
<TH>Long Form</TH>
<strong></TR></strong>
<strong><TR></strong>
<TD>AFAIK</TD>
<TD>As Far As I Know</TD>
<strong></TR></strong>
</TABLE></code></pre>
<p><strong class=html>TR</strong> contains <strong class=html><a href="th.html">TH</a></strong> or <strong class=html><a href="td.html">TD</a></strong> elements, which in turn contain the actual data of the table. In addition to the <a href="../attrs.html">attributes common to most elements</a>, <strong class=html>TR</strong> takes presentational attributes for specifying the alignment of cells within the row<span class=transitional> and the row's background color</span>.</p>
<p>The <strong class=html>ALIGN</strong> attribute specifies the horizontal alignment for each cell in the row. Possible values are <strong class=html>left</strong>, <strong class=html>center</strong>, <strong class=html>right</strong>, <strong class=html>justify</strong>, and <strong class=html>char</strong>. <strong class=html>ALIGN=char</strong> aligns a cell's contents on the character given in the <strong class=html>CHAR</strong> attribute. The default value for the <strong class=html>CHAR</strong> attribute is the decimal point of the current language--a period in English. The <strong class=html>CHAROFF</strong> attribute specifies the offset to the first occurrence of the alignment character. The attribute's value is a number in pixels or a percentage of the cell's width; <strong class=html>CHAROFF="50%"</strong> centers the alignment character horizontally in a cell.</p>
<p>The <strong class=html>VALIGN</strong> attribute specifies the vertical position of a cell's contents. Possible values are:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong class=html>top</strong>, which positions data at the top of the cell;
<li><strong class=html>middle</strong>, the default value, which centers the cell data vertically;
<li><strong class=html>bottom</strong>, which positions data at the bottom of the cell;
<li><strong class=html>baseline</strong>, which specifies that the first line of each cell in the row with <strong class=html>VALIGN=baseline</strong> should occur on a common baseline.</li>
</ul>
<div class=transitional>
<p>The <a href="../deprecated.html">deprecated</a> <strong class=html>BGCOLOR</strong> attribute suggests a background color for the row. The combination of this attribute with <strong class=html><<a href="../special/font.html">FONT</a> COLOR=<var>...</var>></strong> can leave invisible or unreadable text on Netscape Navigator 2.<var>x</var>, which does not support <strong class=html>BGCOLOR</strong> on table elements. <strong class=html>BGCOLOR</strong> is dangerous even on supporting browsers, since most fail to override it when overriding other author-specified colors. <a href="../../css/index.html">Style sheets</a> provide a safer, more flexible method of specifying a row's background color.</p>
