As
an alternative, if the length of the text is fixed, display the text inside a
DIV with proper padding and margin settings will work. But when we have few
lines of text and total height of the text is not fixed (that is variable
length text, different font sizes, etc.), padding and margin will not work.
As
a solution we can use CSS display Property with the value “table-cell” as in the
below example.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML
4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
#tablecellexamples
div { border:1px solid black; width:130px; background-color:#eee }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="tablecellexamples">
<div style="display:table-row">
<div>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur
adipiscing elit. Proin luctus dignissim ipsum a dignissim. Proin mattis orci
sit amet quam feugiat lobortis.
</div>
<div style="display:table-cell; vertical-align:top">Top
aligned</div>
<div style="display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle">Center
aligned</div>
<div style="display:table-cell; vertical-align:bottom">Bottom
aligned</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The
rendered page will look like below:
