Position image + text together? - html

Question

How would I go about placing my text at the center of an image, this is what it looks right now: http://gyazo.com/442aa9f927c1c1ee505435c2422f7322.png
and this is how I want it to be: http://gyazo.com/bc3bb2d0472a1c963d4ac00081065461.png
This is my current code:
<p><img src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/941/web_design/32/page_text.png" /> Some random text</p>
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this.

Answer 1

try to insert the image inside a div and put the text on it like this:
<div class="img">
<p>your text</p>
</div>
css:
.img{
background: url('http://findicons.com/files/icons/941/web_design/32/page_text.png') no-repeat;
height:100%;
}
DEMO
After you can mode your text where you want
If you don't want to use the image like a background and you want only to put text at the center of your element try this:
<div class="container">
<img src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/941/web_design/32/page_text.png" />
<span>your text</span>
<br style="clear:both;" />
</div>
css
.container{
width:100%;
height:100px;
}
.container span{
line-height:30px;
float:left;
}
.container img{
float:left;
}

Answer 2

Demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/5ser6/1/
<div class="thingy">
<img src="http://findicons.com/files/icons/941/web_design/32/page_text.png" alt="" />
<p>Text</p>
<br style="clear:both;">
</div>
* {font-family:arial}
.thingy img {float:left;}
.thingy {height:32px;float:left;}
.thingy p {float:left;margin:0 0 0 10px;padding:0;line-height:32px;}
If your framework has a clearfix, you don't need the clear:both, just put a clearfix on the outer div.
