vertical align the text within a text box

[ISMAILC]

Hi, I need help please!

I want to vertical align the text within a text box.

I can set the vertical align of the text box but not the text.

My text box has a style property of: style ="height : 20px; border : 1px solid #CCCCCC;"

but my text is to high on top in the text box


I tried the following:
text-align : center; - but that moves the text to the center horizontally
vertical-align : sub;

Please Asist!


Regards
