Vertical centering text in CSS

Hi,

I have a vertical menu. Each menu item has a background image of 260 x 30 pixels. My menu is displaying correctly but the text is positioned towards the top of each image.

How can I center the text (vertically) so that it is positioned in the middle of each menu box?

I have tried heaps of things but cant move the vertical position of the text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

You would need to edit your css to allign text in center , else you can insert one more table alligned center and put your text inside it.

 

Have you set padding on the element?

Thanks for the tips.
line-height did the job but I will have a look at kk5st's link to try and get more understanding.

Thanks again
