Vertical alignment of text within div

Sent by Jeff Minard on 21 June 2004 19:07


This is one of those things, like min-height: 100%, that just doesn't 
seem to be in CSS yet.

I think there is some kinda of hack for gecko browsers that you can say 
something like "display: table-cell" and vertical-align will work as 
expected, but that's only going to work in mozilla(s) (if it works at all.)

I recently wanted to center images vertically and horizontally in a box 
for [1] a gallery script I maintain and I found the only solution was to 
have php do some calculations and throw an inline style onto the images 
to force them to margin-top enough to center. :-\

Best of luck,

Jeff Minard
