How can I vertically center some simple text in a normal <div>? I have markup like this:

<div style="height:200px;">
   <span style="display:inline; vertical-align:middle;">ABOUT</span>
<div>

It doesn’t work under either Firefox or Internet Explorer. Why not?

    That’s not what vertical-align does. You probably want line-height:

    <div>
        <span style="line-height: 200px;">ABOUT</span>
    </div>
    

    Here’s a demo.
