When I place an image followed by text in a table cell, the vertical alignment of the text shifts down compared to text in adjacent cells. I tried using a line-height CSS property, but it didn't seem to have an affect.
In the following example, I need "123 Description" to be flush with "cell one." Also, there is a space between the image and "123" by default. How can I adjust that - negative margins perhaps?
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
td { border: thin solid; width: 10em;}
/* .adjust-text { line-height: 1.3em; } */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>cell one</td>
<td>
<img src="small-star.png" />
<span class="adjust-text">123 Description</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
