Achieving vertical alignment in NON Flexbox table layout

Hi I am trying to make a simple table without using Flexbox, given the endless trouble I have had trying to get it to render properly in IE 11. It seems like it shouldn’t be rocket science but I’m having all kinds of difficulties.

The issue I am having is that I am trying to get the capital A B and C letters to sit vertically in the middle of their container. Is there an elegant way, ie. NOT adding some fixed padding that doesn’t scale, etc.?

If you can, please ignore the fact that the footer flies up and covers the table in IE 11 (another example of the IE flexbox bugs), that is an issue for another time. I just want a simple way to vertical align halfway for the large letters in their row.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi @Marginal

There are a couple of ways to align your letters vertically.

You can give the column padding at the top and bottom or give the letters a margin at the top and bottom.

Alternatively, if you give the column a height, you can align vertically with a transform.
Give the letters a 50% top position and a -50% vertical move transform.

I hope this helps!
