before you are going to try this out, with vertical align, which i think you want, maybe have a read here: http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html

anyways it really depends on your situation. There are quite some ways to do this, but without a preview link this will be guessing.

Well, it seems you didn't read the article i provided, because since your using 1 line of text + image here you can set a line-height of for instance a span element (displayed as block) and it will automatically align the text to the middle.

 

Try out the following hope it works for you.

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />       
        <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="cfss/style.css" />
        <title>buttons</title>
<style type="text/css">
body, p#buttons, p#buttons2{
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
}
p#buttons span{
    display: block;
    line-height: 48px; /*same as image height */
    background:red;
}
p#buttons img{
    float:left;
    margin-right:5px;
}
/* method 2 */
p#buttons2 {
    line-height: 48px; /*same as image height */
    background:red;
}
p#buttons2 img{
   float:left;
   margin-right:5px;
}
</style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p id="buttons">
        <img src="http://tinyurl.com/6zrgusv" alt="" /><span>some text</span>
        <img src="http://tinyurl.com/6zrgusv" alt="" /><span>some more text</span>
        <img src="http://tinyurl.com/6zrgusv" alt="" /><span>even some more text</span>
        </p>
        <br />
        <p id="buttons2">
        <img src="http://tinyurl.com/6zrgusv" alt="" /><span>some text</span><br />
        <img src="http://tinyurl.com/6zrgusv" alt="" /><span>some more text</span><br />
        <img src="http://tinyurl.com/6zrgusv" alt="" /><span>even some more text</span><br />
        </p>
    </body>
</html>

 

AN online example is always nice to provide btw in the html/css section.
