Buttons with an image don't align with text ones

Sometimes you might want to mix text buttons with image buttons and insist on using the button tag. However, Firefox aligns the text buttons lower then the image buttons.

Normally, if you want to see this kind of thing fixed in Mozilla, then you should file a bug on it.

Have you checked vertical-align? I see this kind of problems occur when there is a different alignment set between the buttons.

And yes, due to long work day I'm too lazy to start checking this myself (especially as I rarely have had a need for image buttons).

If you add vertical-align property to (middle|top|bottom) to button{} element - all buttons align properly.

Alternatively, you can use:

img.yourButtonClass {vertical-align:text-bottom;}

This is slightly better since it is likely to cause alignment issues in other browsers.

button {
vertical-align: bottom;
...
}
... solves that problem .

adding vertical-align:bottom to the button doesn't work for IE7 and text-bottom doesn't work for safari (and both may distort your text baseline.)

Rather you should use:

button img{
vertical-align:bottom;
}
