Vertically align text within div element - html

Question

I know this question has been asked to death but nothing through searching has worked for me.
You know the deal, I have a div element that I need to vertically align text in but nothing has worked (position:absolute;top:50%;margin-top:-x;display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle;etc., etc.)
Here is what I am working with (sorry for the inline CSS). Anyway, the I would use line-height but the text can be one or two lines. It should vertical align with the image which is always max-height of 30px (30x50).
<div style="margin:0 0 10px 0;padding:10px;border:2px solid #606060;background-color:#2b2b2b;-webkit-border-radius:8px;-moz-border-radius:8px;border-radius:8px;">
<div style="float:left;width:55px;height:40px;">
<img style="max-width:50px;border:1px solid #ffb92c;" src="image.jpg" alt="" />
</div>
<div style="float:right;width:155px;font-size:0.7em;height:40px;">
This is the text to vertically align
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

One other thing you can do. If it's only one line of text in the div you can use line-height
example
div {
line-height:40px;
}

Answer 2

The idea is from here and should work for all browsers.
<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 10px; border: 2px solid #606060; background-color: #2b2b2b;
-webkit-border-radius: 8px; -moz-border-radius: 8px; border-radius: 8px;">
<div style="float: left; width: 55px; height: 40px;">
<a href="link">
<img style="max-width: 50px; border: 1px solid #ffb92c;" src="image.jpg"
alt="" /></a>
</div>
<div style="float: right; width: 155px; font-size: 0.7em; height: 40px; display: table; #position: relative; overflow: hidden;">
<div style="#position: absolute; #top: 50%; display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;">
<div style="#position: relative; #top: -50%;">
This is the text to vertically align
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>

You need to do like this:

Use fixed height instead of padding in main div. and use line height for left & right Divs

Answer 4

Here is a clean version of the solution
<div style="background: yellow">
<div style="width: 155px; font-size: 0.7em; height: 40px; display: table; overflow: hidden;">
<div style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;">
<div style="">
This is the text to vertically align
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>

Answer 5

Seems like a common float issue which can be fixed with a clearfix or, like i did in the following code snippet, with a fixed height of the wrapper.
I also sat an line-height of the floating divs and made it a little wider.
Take a look at this:
<div style="margin:0 0 10px 0;padding:10px;border:2px solid #606060;background-color:#2b2b2b;-webkit-border-radius:8px;-moz-border-radius:8px;border-radius:8px;height:40px"> <div style="float:left;width:55px;height:40px;"> <img style="max-width:50px;border:1px solid #ffb92c;" src="image.jpg" alt="" /> </div> <div style="float:right;width:185px;font-size:0.7em;height:40px;line-height:40px"> This is the text to vertically align </div> </div>

Answer 6

Is you need to show only a few lines of a very long text, here is the Fiddle. Adjust height according as needed.
.container-text {
height:40px;
width:180px;
overflow-y:hidden;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
text-align: center;
}
