vertical-align

The vertical-align property sets the vertical alignment for the tag. The default is baseline. You’ll probably find that this property doesn’t work very well, if at all.

The value may be a percentage relative to the tag's line-height property that would raise the tag's baseline the specified amount above the parent's baseline. 100% equals the text's line height. So 50% moves the tag up half a line. You can have negative values, for example, -100% moves the element down one full line.

The value may also be a keyword:

• Baseline. Aligns baselines of tag and its parent
• Middle. Aligns the middle of the tag with baseline plus half the x-height (the height of the letter "x") of the parent
• Sub (subscript)
• Super (superscript)
• Text-top. Align tops of tag and parent's font
• Text-bottom. Aligns bottoms of tag and parent's font
• Top. Aligns top of tag with tallest tag on the line
• Bottom. Aligns bottom of tag with lowest tag on the line
