Hi Aaron. Use a table-based layout... well not really :D
.containing_element {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
vertical-align only works on table cells and other elements that have
display:table-cell. Support is pretty good. It should be IE8+ and
all other major browsers.
I'd also recommend reading about anonymous table objects (
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#anonymous-boxes ) that can be
created when you use display:table-cell. They can surprise you when
you're trying to line things up.
