Centre text against image 1

[jimmyshoes]

Is the following the correct way to center text on an image

<p style="border:1px solid #ffffff">Text<img src="1.jpg" style="vertical-align:middle"/></p>

I have been experimenting with this. the surrounding <p> takes on the height of the image and the text aligns to the image depending on the vertical-align

What seems slightly odd to me is that the TEXT seems to respond to the styling on the IMAGE. I would have expected to have had to apply a style to the text itself to get this behaviour

That's not quite right. The image is adjusted to align with the text. Since the image is inside the paragraph, the border is simply adjusting to include it.
