This issue has been bothering me lately. Every time I search for related information, all I find is Stack Overflow posts about vertical-align not working on div elements or similar situations.
I have an HTML table where I have set the style of each td to vertical-align:middle through inline styles:
<div ng-hide="getShoppingCart().length===0" class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
<table class="table table-striped">
<tr>
<th class="col-md-2"></th>
<th class="col-md-3">Name</th>
<th class="col-md-2">Size</th>
<th class="col-md-2">Price</th>
<th class="col-md-2">Quantity</th>
<th class="col-md-1"></th>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat="article in getShoppingCart()" style="height:120px;">
<!-- Image -->
<td class="col-md-2" align="center" style="vertical-align:middle;">
<img ng-src="{{article.media.images[0].smallHdUrl}}" class="img-responsive" style="height:120px;" >
</td>
<!-- Name -->
<td class="col-md-3" style="vertical-align:middle;">
<p>{{ article.name }}</p>
</td>
<!-- Size -->
<td class="col-md-2" style="vertical-align:middle;">
<p>{{ article.unit.size }}</p>
</td>
<!-- Price -->
<td class="col-md-2" style="vertical-align:middle;">
<p>£ {{ getTotalPriceForArticle($index) | number : 2 }}</p>
</td>
<!-- Quantity -->
<td class="col-md-2" style="vertical-align:middle;">
<button class="btn minusButtons" ng-click="decrementQuantity(article, $index)">–</button>
<input type="number" class="form-control" style="position:relative;top:2px;width:4vw;display:inline-block;" ng-model="getQuantities()[$index]"/>
<button class="btn plusButtons" ng-click="incrementQuantity(article, $index)">+</button>
</td>
<td class="col-md-1" align="left" style="vertical-align:middle;">
<button ng-click="removeArticleAtIndex($index)" class="btn redButtons" style="margin-left:0;">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span>
</button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="col-md-12" style="font-size:2vw; text-align:right;">
Total Price: £ {{ getTotalPrice() | number : 2 }}
</div>
To try and solve this, I decided to remove all inline styles and add a global rule in my external CSS file:
td {
vertical-align: middle;
}
However, when I did that, the content within the table's cells no longer aligned to the middle. The CSS file is correctly linked as other elements are affected by it. Additionally, there are no conflicting rules with higher priority overriding this property for the table. Any suggestions?
Note: It's worth mentioning that AngularJS is being used in this code and the table rows are generated using ng-repeat, which may be relevant to the issue.
