Vertically align text in table

HTML & CSS
1

Hi, I am redoing a friend’s website that uses tables. I haven’t really got time to redo the site using divs.

I have some text in a cell of a table starting “Bespoke Performances and Workshops…” that always aligns vertically to the middle of the cell it is in. See example 1 here. The only way I seem to be able to get round this is by inserting loads of line breaks after the text. [url=“http://www.bardschool.co.uk/poetry-performances.php?workshops=businesses”]See example 2 here.

Is there anyway I can resolve this problem in a more conventional way?

Many thanks,

Leao

Thanks. That worked great except (obviously) it moved the text in another cell that looked good in the middle to the top. How would I use CSS to create a class for a cell to align it vertically to the middle? I tried

.alternate {vertical-align:middle;}

but it didn’t work.

Many, many thanks,

L

That should do the trick - can you give us a link to the page where it isn’t working?

put vertical-align:top on the tr style sheet.
