Go here <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/objects.html#h-13.2> and click the align link.

quote
align = bottom|middle|top|left|right
 Deprecated. This attribute specifies the position of an IMG, OBJECT, or APPLET with respect to its context.

The following values for align concern the object's position with respect to surrounding text:

 * bottom: means that the bottom of the object should be vertically aligned with the current baseline. This is the default value.
 * middle: means that the center of the object should be vertically aligned with the current baseline.
 * top: means that the top of the object should be vertically aligned with the top of the current text line.

Two other values, left and right, cause the image to float to the current left or right margin. They are discussed in the section on floating objects.

Differing interpretations of align. User agents vary in their interpretation of the align attribute. Some only take into account what has occurred on the text line prior to the element, some take into account the text on both sides of the element.
