I have a div with a background image that needs
to be centered horizontally and vertically. On top of that image, I also want
to display a 1-line text, also centered horizontally and vertically.
I managed
to get the image centered, but the text is not centered vertically. I thought vertical-align:middle would do the trick.
Here's the code I have:
<div style="background: url('background.png') no-repeat center; width:100%; height:100%; text-align:center;">
<div style="color:#ffffff; text-align: center; vertical-align:middle;" >
Some text here.
</div>
</div>
Any ideas?
Workaround: I actually got this
to work by using a table. (I'll probably be cursed
to hell by the HTML community.) Is there any significant reason not
to use this btw? I'm still interested in the solution using divs though.
<table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center" style="background: url('background.png') no-repeat center; color:#ffffff;">Some text here.</td>
</tr>
</table>
