Text in anchor vertically centered across browsers

Take a look at my JsFiddle project here: http://jsfiddle.net/JxXHE/

I want to ensure that the text in the menu items is perfectly centered vertically, with an 8px margin from the top and bottom in all browsers that are supported. The list of supported browsers includes: IE7, IE8, IE9 FF 3.6 - FF 10.0.2 Chrome Chrome (Linux - unspecified version) FF (Linux - unspecified version)

I've gotten pretty close to achieving this, but every time I test it on a new browser, there's a slight difference (a pixel off here or there). I'd prefer to avoid using CSS hacks, but if that's the only solution, we can explore that.

If you have any suggestions or ideas on how to solve this issue, please feel free to share them.

Thanks, Nadav

Answer №1

A helpful suggestion is to utilize the line-height property for better spacing. I made some adjustments to your jsFiddle, you can view it here: jsFiddle Link

.ContextMenuItem
{
    min-width: 180px;
    line-height: 27px; /* This line was added for spacing */
}

The calculation involves adding the font size (11px) to double the vertical space (8px) which results in 27px.

Keep in mind that this method is suitable for single line text only, as it may create gaps between multiple lines.
