Vertical centering does not work

when prompted, use "artefy" as the username and "artastic2" as password.

ul.menu_interior {
    font-size: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 40px;
    margin-left: 28px;
    }
 
ul.menu_interior li {
    background-color: #2A2A2A;
    display: inline-table;
    height: 30px;
    margin: 0 2px;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 19%;
    }
 
ul.menu_interior a {
    background-color: #2A2A2A;
    color: #CCCCCC;
    display: table-cell;
    text-decoration: none;
    vertical-align: middle;
    }

If its not working just using margin bottum or used padding.

Vertical-align:middle in CSS does not do exactly what you are trying. I think you are referring to the table behavior. Here is a link to an article that explains it better than I can and offers several solutions or work arounds. Good luck! http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html

Note that

1. This thread is a month old. Although the OP did not respond to the answers he got, I imagine he's done with this problem.
2. The link you posted offers two solutions. The first is the one I gave above.
3. The second is a non-robust solution having little or nothing to recommend it other than it worked in IE6.
4. There is a third solution that is a work-around for obsolete IE versions that I didn't mention because its expiry date has passed. If you're interested, see my article Centering inline elements vertically, from 2006. The method also works for block elements.
