CSS - How Do I Vertically Align Text With An Image?
I am designing this page:
theticketsguide.com/sample Scroll down to where the text reads, "Easy Navigation." I have (more or less) managed to vertically align this text with the image next to it, but I used padding instead of a cleaner, more exact "vertical-align" function. I've tried to put vertical-align:middle for the text, but it doesn't do anything. Any help as to what the right solution is to this? I don't want to use padding. Thanks, Brandon Similar TutorialsGreetings, I've set an anchor tag to display:block and have set the height to 80px. Unfortunately, it seems I am unable to move the text associated within the hyperlink to the middle (vertically) of the block. Any ideas on how this can be done? ok. Ive been trying to use CSS to style my page instead of tables. but I cant get stuff to line up right. basically I have a div spanning the whole width of a css box. inside that div I have 3 sections, one for left-aligned text, one for center aligned text and one for right aligned text. what I want is to display on the far left a left arrow image (for use as a button) and the word 'Previous'. then in the middle of the div, center aligned, I want to display the words 'select a different draw' and on the right hand side, right aligned I want the word 'Next' followed by my right arrow. EASY PEASY I thought. Well it has taken me an hour to realise that I have to set my parent element to position: relative for the left middle and right elements to use absolute without going to the very top of the page. so at least I now have them along in a line. What I have found is that the the text on the left and right is vertically aligned to the BOTTOM edge of the image and the text in the middle has been vertically aligned to the TOP of the image despite all 4 css classes being defined as vertical-align: middle; please tell me where I am going wrong, I'm loosing my marbles here! --html: Code: <div id="width-100"> <div id="third-left"> <img src="images/arrowleft.png" alt="foo"/> Previous </div> <div id="third-middle"> Select a different draw </div> <div id="third-right"> Next <img src="images/arrowright.png" alt="foo"/> </div> </div> --css: Code: #third-left { width: 30%; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; } #third-middle { position: absolute; top: 0px; margin: 0 35% 0 35%; width: 30%; vertical-align: middle; text-align: center; } #third-right { position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; width: 30%; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle; } #width-100 { width: 100%; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; background: white; } any thoughts? Thanks, Ben Using CSS, is it possible to vertically align centrally text to an image as you can using tables? A simple example using a table would be <table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td><img border="0" src="image.gif" width="609"height="115"></td> <td valign="middle">Ray did this</td> </tr> </table> Using CSS so far I've got... <p><img class="imglft" border="0" src="img.jpg" width="434" height="400" alt="my image">Ray did this> The CSS for imglft is... .imglft{ float: left; margin-right: 30px; } I've tried putting the whole lot in a DIV and using text-align: middle and vertical-align: middle but that doesn't work. You can see what I mean by comparing http://brisray.com/grad.htm or http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/grad.htm with http://brisray.com/ray/rgrad.htm or http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/ray/rgrad.htm Ray I need the text "world leaders in spirometry" to be on the same base line as the text in the logo image for Vitalograph to the left of it.

I know I could put the tage into the logo as one image, but for SEO I would like to have the text there if possible. Thanks! Hi Guys, I'm trying to align some text along an image. The problem is, I want two lines of text to the right of the image, aligned to the top. If I put a <BR> tag between the two lines, the second line gets placed below the image. Here's what I have so far. img.top {vertical-align:text-top;} <a href="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> <img class="top" src="http://company.com/graphics/thumb.jpg"> </a> <a href="company.com">sample text</a> <a href="company.com">second line</a> Any ideas? I've tried like every switch for the vertical-align property... Hi, I am trying to achieve a layout which uses unordered lists. Within the LI, there is an image and some text. The images are all different heights though. The issue i'm having at the moment is how can I make the text vertically align within the LI? Keep in mind that I can't put a height on as each image changes height. And these lists will be generated dynamically probably - so I don't really want to specify individual heights for each one... To make it even more difficult, the text may end up spanning onto two lines at some stage if i have to enter a larger description - so that also needs to be kept in mind. I've been looking around all morning for examples of how to do this and I can't find anything - so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello, how do you align vertically a radiobutton with label without using the <br> tag in css?

I've now stumbled onto a problem that is making me tear my hair out. I have a centered, fixed width 2-column design. and I'm trying to insert an image and float it left so that the text in the div wraps around it. The problem is that the image keeps being pushed down to the 3rd or 4th paragraph instead of the actual paragraph it's placed in. What could be causing this? I've included my code below. Thanks!
