- straws 13y agoWell, of course it comes with gotchas: - if that item is "display: table-cell", it must be within a larger element that's "display: table" or "display: table-row" - "vertical-align: middle" works also for inline-block elements, but that means it's subject to all the other gotchas present in the article about explicit sizing It eventually makes a kind of sense, but these rules are passed down in folklore and trial-and-error.
