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>
</html>
