Vertically center bootstrap btn in .well class

Question

I have a link that I want to center vertically in the .well class from the bootstrap framework and am using the class btn btn-danger on the anchor tag. Here's the pic below. I tried to use vertical-align:middle; but that doesn't seem to work. You can see that the space on the well isn't even on the top and the bottom.

Here is the HTML:

<div class="well">
   <%= link_to "Remove", thing, method: :delete, style: "font-size: 11px; float:right; ", :class => 'btn btn-danger'%>

</div>

Answer 1

It appears you shouldn't (or simply can't) vertically align a floating element.

Here is what i suggest :

<div class="well mywell">
    <div class="pull-right myfloater">
       <button class="btn btn-danger vcenter">Remove</button>    
    </div>
    <p><!-- things --></p>
</div>

.mywell{
   height: 150px;
}
.myfloater {
    line-height: 150px;
}
.vcenter{
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Edit

Better with line-heightapplied to the floating element.

Maybe this is what you need: jsfiddle .

I've added new classes, so as not to overwrite the default bootstrap.
