CSS DIV content vertical alignment

[joshi_v]

Hi all,

 

I have a class for menu tabs in my index page

 

This is working good but the tab name is not coming in center of the div. if  i increase the top padding it is working but it is showing gaps between tabs in IE.

 

can anyone help me how to do this?

 

.menu
{

color : #FFFFFF !important;		
margin: 1px 0px 0px 0px;	
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom:0px;	
padding-left: 22px;		
height: 23px;
float:top;	
}

 

 

Thanks in advance
