    <p>Thank you all for your prompt feedback, it has been very helpful. One issue remains: Neither <code>line-height</code>, nor <code>padding</code> seem to be able to center <b>both</b> text that is long enough to wrap around <i>and</i> text that fits neatly on one line in the middle of the picture when applied in a table cell. </p> <p>Oddly enough, the padding solution provided below by SwDevMan81 works flawlessly when applied to a div, but not a table cell...</p> <p>I apologize in advance for my naivety; this is my first foray into HTML and CSS.</p> <p>The code for the table is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table border="1"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="imgcontainer"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt; &lt;img src="http://www.bigjimsburgers.com/burger.jpg" alt="" /&gt; &lt;span class="desc"&gt; Very long text that wraps around and is centered properly &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class ="imgcontainer"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt; &lt;img src="http://www.bigjimsburgers.com/burger.jpg" alt="" /&gt; &lt;span class="desc"&gt; misaligned text &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="imgcontainer"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt; &lt;img src="http://www.bigjimsburgers.com/burger.jpg" alt="" /&gt; &lt;span class="desc"&gt; misaligned text &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class ="imgcontainer"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt; &lt;img src="http://www.bigjimsburgers.com/burger.jpg" alt="" /&gt; &lt;span class="desc"&gt; Very long text that wraps around and is centered properly &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; .imgcontainer { overflow: hidden; text-align: center; } .imgcontainer img { float: left; background: #fff; width: 200px; height: 200px; } .imgcontainer a .desc { display: none; font-size: 1.0em; } .imgcontainer a:hover { cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; } .imgcontainer a:hover .desc { display: -webkit-box; display: -moz-box; display: box; -webkit-box-align: center; -moz-box-align: center; box-align: center; background: #DDD; filter: alpha(opacity=75); opacity: .75; -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=75)"; position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 200px; } &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
