Vertical alignment of what? Border boxes or content? > So we are all saying the same thing, aren't we? We seem to interpret vertical alignment in different way. I would not mind clarifying spec or even reformulating current behaviour in different terms, but I don't like idea of changing this behaviour and requesting everyone to reimplement tables and recode pages (plus returning CSS2.1 to draft stage once again). > They say that the cell > height should be at least the value of its height property, which in > your case means that the _first_ cell does not require extra padding. Yep. > If so how would its content 'A' be vertically centered? (it would be > at the top.) It would be at the top in case of top and in some cases baseline alignment. I don't think that 'padding' added to cells has something to do with alignment. It is added as necessary after alignment is done. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze
