cant get my input fields' text to be valign centered

[icydash]

hey guys, so i have a form, with a field:

<input type=text id="email" name="email" value=" Email address" tabindex=1 style="height: 23px; width: 240px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color:#91C2DA; border-width:3; border-color: #91C2DA; border-style:solid; background-color: #C9E5FD; vertical-align: middle">

And for whatever reason, all the characteristics work Except the vertical-align for the text. I've tried all different modifications, but none seem to work. Is there something obvious I'm missing here?

Thanks!

How about

<style type="text/css">
	
	#email{
	padding:5px 0;
	/*height: 23px;
	vertical-align: middle
	*/
	width: 240px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
	color:#91C2DA; 
	border:3px solid #91C2DA
	background-color: #C9E5FD; 
	}
	</style>

<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="Email_address" >

?

PS: You may find it hard to get the submitted values from an input element having blank spaces in the name attribute value.

Ok great thanks I will give this a try later and let you know how it goes -- unfortunately I don't have any free time until tonight.

Thanks for the PS comment, that's definitely good to note-- but I don't think I have any spaces in the name/id values in my original post, just the value field?

Sorry, it's my mistake
