Vertically Aligned Text in a Span

Question

Here is My Demo

<span class="boxPrice  ">
    <p>Previous Bill</p>

</span> 

I want to create <p> inside a <span>

should be vertically aligned center inside the <span>

Answer 1

You can add

display:inline-block;

to your p element.

Answer 2

Add line-height:75px; You need to make sure the line height is the same as the div height/

Answer 3

Block elements aren't "affected" by the vertical-align: middle , only inline elements...

I suggest changing the p to inline and adding the vertical-align: middle , like this:

.boxPrice p {
    padding:0 !important;
    margin:0 !important;
    display: inline;
    vertical-align:middle;
}

Fiddle

Answer 4

1. I would rather not use a block level element ("p") element within an inline level element ("span"). Use div instead.

2. There are several tricks on how to do this, the simplest is to modify line-height to match the height of your container:

 .container { width: 100px; height: 100px; line-height: 100px; /* Set it to the container height */ } 

You can also use "display: table-cell" to achieve the same effect:

 .container {
     display: table-cell;
     vertical-align: middle;
 }

.boxPrice
  {
 width:160px; height:75px; border:1px #333 solid; text-align:center; display:inline-block;}           
.boxPrice p{padding:20px !important; margin:0 !important}
.boxPrice:after{ display:inline-block; content:'';vertical-align:middle;  height:100%}
