Vertically aligning a paragraph.

[IAIHMB]

Just wondering, why can't one vertically align a paragraph in a divider so that the paragraph resides at the bottom right hand side of the divider? I thought vertical alignment worked with block level elements that were contained in block level elements? Thanks for any information, I have no idea why this seems to difficult. :no:

You can do it if its in a table.

<table width="100%" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td valign="bottom"> </td>
  </tr>
</table>

vertical-align doesn't work with block level elements as per spec. If you want something to sit at the bottom, you would have to fudge it with padding-top or position it absolute and use bottom : 0px;

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Here's a faux mock up, it's fudged, but looks right.
