Adjust the alignment of cells within a table

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but CSS is still new to me. I'm attempting to align two elements next to each other using display: table.

However, the element on the right seems to be lower than the one on the left, and I can't figure out why.

.container {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
  margin-left: 10%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  /* width: auto;
        height: auto; */
  vertical-align: middle;
  border-radius: 5px;
  border: 5px solid #ff656c;
  height: auto;
  padding: 0 20px;
  width: inherit;
}

#column1 {
  display: table-cell;
}

#column2 {
  display: table-cell;
  width: 50%;
}

#scope {
  width: 100%;
  padding-right: 5px;
}
<div class="container">
  <div id="column1">
    <img id="scope" src="https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2018/07/08/19/59/blood-pressure-3524615_960_720.jpg">
  </div>
  <div id="column2">
    <h2>Welcome to PATHFINDER</h2>

    </p>
    <p>The National Heart Foundation of Australia and the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand published guidelines that outline the goal of pharmacological therapy for persons with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), and how to

  </div>
</div>

I attempted applying the same code used for a form placed in two columns, and checked for any issues within the box model, but I'm really stumped by this..

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Answer №1

My suggestion would be to utilize the flex property for this situation.

If, however, you prefer to maintain your current approach, you can include either the vertical-align: top or vertical-align: middle properties in your column2 ID.
