Align text vertically centered- In all IEs

Question

I have a text-control in Div. I want to place the text aligned vertically centered of div.

The div has following styling:

 display: table-cell;
 vertical-align: middle;
 text-align: Left;
 font-size: 14px;
 height: 80px;
 padding: 0 15px 0 15px;
 overflow: hidden;

Problem:

It aligns text as expected in IE8, but fails in IE7 and IE6.

Anyway to fix it, so it works alright in all IEs.

Add line-height and position to the class

line-height: 80px;
position: absolute;

Finally your CSS looks like:

display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
font-size: 14px;
height: 80px;
padding: 0 15px 0 15px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid;
line-height: 80px;
position: absolute;

This doesnot work when my text has line breaks. It doesnot show the text in line breaks. – BFry Jan 09 '13 at 11:09

Try line-height: 80px, I think it will work.

Doesnot work. Div is supposed to have any number lines possible within specified height. But line-height: 80 shows only one line text. – BFry Jan 09 '13 at 11:09
