I am nearing the final design of my new site, but now I am working on the HTML validation. I am getting a validation error that says that the "absmiddle" attribute cannot be used. I have been using absmiddle because that is the only way I have figured out how to get the text to be vertically-aligned in relation to the image. If I use "middle", then the text is not aligned as I would like it when viewing the page with IE6, but it appears OK in Opera 7.

<td class="NewsHeader">
<img align="Middle" border="0" height="22" hspace="2" vspace="0" width="27" src="images/Calendar.png" alt="Calendar.png">Current Poll
</td>

The image and text in question are "Current Poll" in the upper right portion of the screen. Does anyone have any solutions either in HTML or in CSS? Thanks.
