Vertically align text within input field of fixed-height without display: table or padding?

Question

The line-height property usually takes care of vertical alignment, but not with inputs. Is there a way to automatically center text without playing around with padding?

Answer 1

input[type=text]
{
   height: 15px; 
   line-height: 15px;
}

this is correct way to set vertical-middle position.
