Why doesn’t vertical-align work properly when using float in CSS?

by

You need to set line-height.

<div style="border: 1px solid red;">
<span style="font-size: 38px; vertical-align:middle; float:left; line-height: 38px">Hejsan</span>
<span style="font-size: 13px; vertical-align:middle; float:right; line-height: 38px">svejsan</span>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
