How do I vertically align text in a div?
The recommended approach for vertically aligning text in modern browsers is to use Flexbox. However, for older browsers that do not support Flexbox, alternative methods can be used.
One such method is to use the CSS display: table and display: table-cell properties. This creates a table-like structure, allowing vertical alignment of content. Here is an example:
<div style="display: table; height: 400px; overflow: hidden;">
<div style="display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;">
<div>
Content is vertically centered in modern IE8+ and others.

</div>
</div>
To address issues with older browsers like Internet Explorer 6/7, additional CSS hacks can be used to ensure proper alignment. Here is an example:

These methods provide solutions for vertically aligning text in a div across various browsers, ensuring compatibility with both modern and older browser versions.
