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

This is how I do it.

   
First group of text here.
   

then inside your CSS file,

ul li {
  display: block;
  float: left;
}

That should work for you.
