vertical align = middle doesn't work for image

How can I vertically align the image in the middle? The following doesn't work:

        <img  class = "m-y-1" src="./assets/img/sharif.png" alt="" style="height:100px; width:100px; display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle;"> </img>

Hi Mona! I think we'll need a little more code and info to understand what's going wrong here, and what exactly you're try to do. You mentioned you want to align the image in the middle, but in the middle of what exactly? Are you trying to align the image with other elements on the same line? Or are you trying to vertically-center the image? If you are trying to vertically-center you might want to use flexbox or something else since the vertical-align property isn't really meant for that.

Here's a few resources in the mean time that help explain vertical-align a bit more. http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align https://css-tricks.com/what-is-vertical-align/ https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/v/vertical-align/
