I'm trying to create some buttons for a website using styled hyperlinks. I have managed to get the button looking how I want, bar one slight issue. I can't get the text ('Link' in the source code below) to vertically center.
Unfortunately there may be more than one line of text as demonstrated with the second button so I can't use line-height
to vertically center it.
My initial solution was to use display: table-cell;
rather than inline-block
, and that sorts the issue in Chrome, Firefox and Safari but not in Internet Explorer so I'm thinking I need to stick to inline-block.
How would I go about vertically centering the link text within the 57px
x 100px
inline-block
, and have it cater to multiple lines of text? Thanks in advance.
CSS:
.button {
background-image:url(/images/categorybutton-off.gif);
color:#000;
display:inline-block;
height:57px;
width:100px;
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
vertical-align:middle;
}
.button:hover {
background-image:url(/images/categorybutton-on.gif);
}
.button:before {
content:"Click Here For\A";
font-style:italic;
font-weight:normal !important;
white-space:pre;
}
HTML:
<a href="/" class="button">Link</a>
<a href="/" class="button">Link<br />More Details</a>
Many thanks @avrahamcool, works like a charm!
I have a little upgrade. You can replace redundant .Centerer span with css
.button:before {
content: '';
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
height: 100%;
}

NOTE: This will not work with text in "content" attribute.
