It can be "hacked" a few ways, but the bottom line is that HTML is designed to collapse vertically UNLESS you specify a height. If you do, then you can center one element in another (that is, in the one with a fixed height). Nov 06 16:36:19 prgmmax, Google "css vertical-align" will reveal much to you :) Nov 06 16:38:25 * sent (sent@ominous.org) has joined #css Nov 06 16:38:29 I have an object with a min-height. Once it expands the vertical align won't matter. But before it expands it does Nov 06 16:40:18 * stevemmc (~stevemkk@pool-72-95-190-96.pitbpa.east.verizon.net) has joined #css Nov 06 16:40:19 * PaulB has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) Nov 06 16:40:56 http://fusoene.com/inventoryTest.html the blue error box at the bottom that looks like a tooltip...text doesn't want to align vertically? Nov 06 16:41:01 programax, I'm not sure in min-height will fulfill the "explicit height" requirement needed for vertical-align to take effect, but I"m guessing it's not since you're asking. Ahh, just re-read. text-align is horizontal. vertical-align is vertical. Nov 06 16:41:04 * Acit is now known as acit Nov 06 16:41:13 ohhh Nov 06 16:41:29 That URL is dead.

Nov 06 16:41:58 http://fuseone.com/inventoryTest.html Nov 06 16:42:00 um, vertical-align doesn't do what you think it does Nov 06 16:42:13 it's not the vertical equivalent of text-align Nov 06 16:42:42 max, your question requires more context Nov 06 16:42:56 different things get vertically centered in different ways Nov 06 16:43:06 oh? Nov 06 16:43:37 unfortunately css doesn't have a magical property you can apply to vertically center some random element in its container Nov 06 16:43:49 oh `,:o( Nov 06 16:43:52 would be nice tho Nov 06 16:43:59 the vertical-align rainabba was describing is for table cells Nov 06 16:44:06 which you're not using Nov 06 16:44:20 so it's useless for you Nov 06 16:44:26 * drusepth (~drusepth@ppp-70-129-184-123.dsl.spfdmo.swbell.net) has joined #css Nov 06 16:44:27 makk: Actually, that's not the case Nov 06 16:44:29 k Nov 06 16:44:32 if it's 1 line of text you could use line-height Nov 06 16:44:40 what isn't the case Nov 06 16:44:49 it very likely will be split into two lines or more Nov 06 16:44:59 max, right... Nov 06 16:45:02 makk: vertical-align as I refer to it is not limited to table-cells Nov 06 16:45:03 so what you need is this: Nov 06 16:45:30 I have a lot of text in a 
 tag and I want to make it easier to read.  To double space or 1.5 space it, would I just use a negative margin?  Or would I have to do that with every other line?
Nov 06 16:45:43 	rainabba, i didn't say it was JUST for table-cells, i said in the context you were describing... as in, the vertical equivalent of text-align, it IS just for table cells
Nov 06 16:45:55 	(or things with the same display type)
Nov 06 16:46:12 	programax, Ok, found one of the tricks I use. It's a matter of using position and top:50%; See this link: http://phrogz.net/CSS/vertical-align/index.html
Nov 06 16:46:23 	the other context vertical-align is used in is when vertically aligning inline elements with respect to EACH OTHER
Nov 06 16:46:44 	not vertically centering WITHIN a container
