Q:

How do you center text and image in a table cell?

Here's a simple web page. I would like the text as well as the image to be vertically centered in the cell. I would like the text to the left of the image, but that shouldn't be a problem...
Could you help?

<body>

<table border="1" style="width: 100%">
    <tr>
        <td class="style1">Text<img src="PdfLink.jpg" alt="Whatever"/></td>
        <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>

default.css. Add to it as you see fit.
body{

    font-size:12pt;
    }
}

Update:
I take back some previous comments, including saying that Evan's answer worked.
The following worked. Note the "*". Evan's answer didn't include the . What does the "" mean?
.style1  * {
   vertical-align: middle;
}

A:

The asterisk means "any descendent of this class"; be careful using it, though, because it means ALL descendant elements will receive a particular style.
Note 1: Be aware that you have too many right braces in your CSS.
Note 2: Also, the other answer you received won't work if the text is bigger than the image. You didn't give a size for the image.
