Hello,
I'm trying to align a text vertically in a link displayed as a block.
But the text is always at top.
Is there a solution?
Your advices are welcome.
Here is a test page:
<html>
<head>
<style>
a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
a:hover {
background: #fee;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="middle" ><a href="#a">a</a></td>
<td valign="middle" ><a href="#b">b</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html> 8  27108

Just remove height: 100% from the A and it will be vertically centered
in the table cell.
Here is a test page:
<html>
<head>
<style>
a {
display: block;
height: 100%; text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
a:hover {
background: #fee;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="middle" ><a href="#a">a</a></td>
<td valign="middle" ><a href="#b">b</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Yes but I want the whole block to be clickable as a link, from the top
to the bottom of the screen.
Other ideas please?

There is no general solution for vertically aligning objects.
For special cases where the text is fixed in length two methods are common.
1. Set the line-height to fill the space.
2. Adjust either the top margin or padding.

It would have to be padding if you set the link to display: block, the
margin would not be the "clickable" part.

Thanks for the help. I tried to set height: 50%; padding-top: 50%;
It works more or less in Firefox but not Konqueror (block is only half
height, text not vertically centered).
Is there really no solution (even not pure CSS, I don't care) working
for most browsers?

It's not easy.
You could set a big line-height on the A (and no need to set
vertical-align: middle).
But you can't do that because you want "100%", not some known value, and
line-height: 100% doesn't mean 100% of the containing height but 100% of
the font size.
Display: table-cell on the A is another option, but won't work in IE.
You could put a span inside the A and offset it with position: relative
and top: 50%, but it won't be quite centered unless you move it up again
by half its font-size.
You could fake it with Javascript-- centre the A but give the table cell
a click handler.

Use "line-height", not "height".

The solution with
<span style="position : relative; top: 50%">
works well in Firefox and IE (but not in my version of Konqueror, maybe
a bug).
I'll go with that one.

Hi,
Up to now, I didn't find a solution to align text in the middle of a inline
neither block box in the vertical direction. That's because the
vertical-align property is not active for many boxes.
And when it is, not all the browsers folow it.
I think there is a general solution in surrounding the box with another box,
using the top property and fixing the top position at the middle of the
surrounding box minus the half height of the box...

Hi
How can I have IE7 act correctly on that ?
The rules make the link text go down when hovered. It works in FF , I had to
add a hard space right after the LI tag to have OP9 work but I can't figure
how to have IE7 work. Why?
How can I have it work in all 3 browsers?

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)?
