I never used vertical-align, it's annoying and it never works like i want it to work.. for example "vertical-align: middle;". I rather use "line-height: 2em" to center my text. Followed by "white-space: nowrap;". I would like to know a good use for vertical-align... Maybe a mod has an idea :)

vertical-align only applies to inline and table-cell elements. To align in a block I also like to use the line-height property, setting also the height, ex: div { height: 100px; line-height: 100px; }
