[css-d] What's the proper way to vertically center an element within its parent?

[Chris Chen]

Hi,

I can't seem to be able to style <a> inside <span> to make it centered 
*vertically* inside <span>.

<span class="span_link"><a href="http://www.msn.com"; >Hello</a></span>

Is there a general CSS solution for this (other than "position: 
relative/absolute") that works on other elements as well?

Thanks,
Chris
