I'm still trying to learn CSS and the use of DIV, and a few examples
will get me started.
My challenge at the moment is to place some text to the right of a
header (a sort of footnote) and to have the baselines of the text
aligned. I can do this with a table:
<TABLE><TR VALIGN=BASELINE ><TD><H2>Header </H2><TD>Comment</TABLE>
But my feeble attempt with DIVs fails:
<DIV STYLE="float:le ft;vertical-align:baseline" ><H2>Header 2</H2></DIV>
<DIV STYLE="float:le ft;vertical-align:bottom">t ext</DIV>
Am I missing something obvious, or is this harder than it looks?

No, and it is harder than it looks :)
Vertical-align only applies to things that are display: inline or
table-cell, and it isn't inherited, so it does nothing on your divs.
Will this do:
h2 { display: inline }
...
<h2>Header 2</h2text

Well, that does not align the baselines.

I meant to delete position: relative;, it was from an earlier fiddling.

I wouldn't want to change all H2 instances, but I can certainly use this
approach. Thanks for showing me something I hadn't come across before.
One of my colleagues at work suggested this:
<h2>Part 2 <span style="font-size:small;font-weight:normal"> (Experts
Only)</span></h2>
Which is perfect for my occasional use.

That's almost exactly what a colleague at work suggested (see my post

see me here again in the near future.

Inline styles are a PITA so put the font settings in your CSS, i.e.
h2 small {font-weight:normal}

Hi
See my mock-up at http://tinyurl.com/35tv29. The three icons are
supposed to be vertically aligned on their bottoms (using "vertical-
align: bottom"), but they aren't, they're vertically aligned on their
tops. Is there any way to align them vertically on their bottoms (or
middle for that matter) short of resorting to using a table (where
"vertical-align: bottom" does work)?
