If you look at the link I provided your will see that vertical-align:
applies to inline-level and 'table-cell' elements
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#propdef-vertical-align
of which DIV are not a member. Now you could apply display: table-cell;
to the DIV or A, *but* (did you guess correctly?) don't expect MSIE to
accommodate. If your texts it only only line then setting the block's
height=line-height will do what you wish...

/* convert the inline element */

/* color and style it like a button */

border: 3px outset #aaa;
font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration: none;
/* make the width in relative em's to hold your text */
width: 15em;
/* center your text horizonatally */
text-align: center;
/* now to center vertically make height=line-height */
height: 2em; line-height: 2em;
}
a:hover { background-color: #ccc; }
</style>

<p>Let's try to make a button for you:
<a href="http://www.example.com" class="fauxbutton">A fake Button</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Take care,
