Center text vertically
css, vertical-alignment
Solution
That's not what `vertical-align` does. You probably want `line-height`:
<div>
<span style="line-height: 200px;">ABOUT</span>
</div>
Here's a demo.
Problem
How can I vertically center some simple text in a normal `<div>`? I have markup like this: ``` <div style="height:200px;"> <span style="display:inline; vertical-align:middle;">ABOUT</span> <div> ``` It doesn't work under either Firefox or Internet Explorer. Why not?
