vertical-alignment

I want to create an inline-block that will take on some unknown width and height. (It'll have a table inside it with content dynamically generated). Further, the inline-block should be placed inside a line of text, such as "my text (BLOCK HERE)". To make it look pretty, I'm trying to make the block be vertically centered in the line . So if the block looks like this: TOP MIDDLE BOTTOM Then the line of text will read: "My text ( [MIDDLE] )" (with TOP and BOTTOM above and below the line) Here's what I have so far. CSS .example { background-color: #0A0; display: inline-block; margin: 2px; padding

I know to vertically align text to the middle of a block, you set the line-height to the same height of the block. However, if I have a sentence with a word in the middle, that is 2em . If the entire sentence has a line-height the same as the containing block, then the larger text is vertically aligned but the smaller text is on the same baseline as the larger text. How can I set it so both sizes of text are vertically aligned, so the larger text will be on a baseline lower than the smaller text? MatTheCat Try vertical-align:middle; on inline containers?

I want to have 5 lines for the height of the text area. I am using the following code. <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:singleLine="false" android:lines="5" android:layout_marginLeft="10dip" android:layout_marginRight="10dip" /> The text area looks fine, but the problem is that the cursor is blinking in the middle of the text field.
