CSS Vertical Alignment
Written by Moe on May 3, 2006 |
I just came across something kind of dumb. If you are using a CSS stylesheet and want to change the valign of a data table you have to use “vertical-alignment” instead of “valign”. Even though valign is the correct syntax for html.
td
{
vertical-align: top;
}
Im sure most people might know this, but I didn’t and it confused me for a good 5 minutes.

it only works for text. vertical-align does not do everything valign did.
