CSS Vertically Align Text
 

Note the following html code:

<div id="linkbar">
<p>
links
</p>
</div>

Now take a look at this CSS:

#linkbar {
height: 30px;
text-align: center;
}

#linkbar p {
vertical-align: middle;
}

Why isn't the text in the div aligned vertically? What's the best way
to do what I want?

Thank you,
Trevor

Vertical align is a property that works with table cells only.

Add display:table-cell; to the selector #linkbar p
