The vertical-align
property is mainly used for the vertical position of text or images in each line. It is usually used for vertical position adjustment for
The default value is the baseline
, which aligns small text with the text baseline. When you use super
or sub
, the small text will be aligned with the baseline of superscript or subscript text baseline. You can also specify the top
, middle
, or bottom
. Those positions are defined depending on the line height. You can also use a specific size (e.g., 10px
or -10px
) to manually adjust the position.
The vertical-align
property should be written in the small text element (not in the parent element) like in the example below.
<p> ABC
<span style="vertical-align: top"> small text </span>
<p>
The vertical-align
property is useful when you want to adjust the position of icons in a paragraph. You can use the same keywords as the ones we explained for the small text vertical alignment. To set the position, you can add the vertical-align
property in the <img>
tag of the icon you want to adjust the position of.
<p> ABC
<img src="img/xxx" style="vertical-align: top;">
<p>
The vertical-align
property can also be used for vertical position adjustment for the text or images in table cells. In this case, you can use one of the keywords from the top
, middle
, or bottom
. The middle
is the default in the table format.
For the table format, you can set the vertical-align
property for the <td>
tag like in the example below.
td{
vertical-align: top;
}
vertical-alignment
is used only in special cases. It cannot be used for block elements to align their positions vertically. Usually, we use the display
property to adjust the vertical positions of elements. The display property will be explained later in this course.
Add the code below at the end of the <body>
section in the chapter11.html file. In this code, we set two new classes (vertical-align-check
and small-text
) to adjust formats to show the results clearly.

For the icon image, we are using a smile.png file. As we want to use a transparent backgroud for the icon, we are using a PNG file. You can use your own icon but make sure you set a proper file path in the code.
