How to dynamically set align property for td in javascript?

Here is my code, my question is in the comment:

function (align) {    
    var column = $(`'<td>'`);  
  // now i need syntax to set align property to this td element  
  // column.align = align (not working)  
}

As shown, column.align = align is not working.

Where am I going wrong?

it seems you're using jQuery, so you can do something like :

column.attr('align', 'right');

Judging from the $ selector, you are using jQuery.

In that case, column is not a DOM element, but a jQuery selector result, and you have to treat it accordingly:

$(column).attr('align', 'left');

Looks like you're using jQuery? Use column.attr('align', 'whatev') or better yet, use CSS.
