what about aligning them both at the middle vertically?
July 27th, 2006 at 11:44 pm
align=absmiddle is deprecated.
Can anyone explain why this behaviour happens, and why position: absolute solves it?
I’m constantly coming across CSS problems but the solutions don’t leave me any the wiser

Kat: This is probably due to the “image baseline” issue, where there is whitespace at the bottom of an image. Since images are inline objects, they sit on the baseline and not at the bottom of the containing block. Changing the style to “display: block;” would also work in an example like this.

Ive been trying this and ive figured out that puting ur elements in a table, each in a différent cell is doing the alignment very well.
Cause playing wit absolute positioning in a table can end up really messy.
( normal textbox is setting height and text size from my CSS style sheet )

using vertical-align: text-bottom is the best way to achieve the desired effect

Bonjour,
Sous IE6, le bouton Go est 1 pixel au-dessus du input
Tout le monde le voit

Fantastic - I’ve used this to align PayPal shopping cart buttons so they don’t affect the page layout below them. It’s a problem with PayPal that has been bugging me for ages! Thanks.

Bonjour, you can solve the 1 pixel problem easily.

Works a charm!

This has been a booger…
Didn’t work for me.
But I did use style=”vertical-align: middle” which worked like a charm.

Put the imagebutton before the textbox and in the css, set
display:blockandfloat:rightJanuary 22nd, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Sorry gus, where are the code?
I have a text and a button adjacent to each other, the IE and Firefox refuses to work on one set of code.

Using the technique used in this article (style=”position: absolute”) does not work in safari. However, style=”vertical-align: middle” DOES work. So use that instead.
September 12th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
I tried all the options, and I ended up going with vertical-align: middle. But, I had to put the image in a separate td. And, it looks great in IE, slightly low in Firefox, and pretty low in Chrome, but better than it used to be before I found this article. Using position: absolute required that I use a margin-left on the next thing to the right to allow space, so that wasn’t good. I still don’t think this is the 100% solution for all browsers, at least the 3 I tested, IE, FF, and Chrome.
