Two divs side by side set to display: table-cell, but text in the second column is dropping down

Question

I have a layout where I have a wrapper div and two child divs.

The parent div is set to display: table and the child divs are set to display: table-cell.

I have set the first table-cell div to width: 35%.

It works fine in Chrome, but when it displays in IE10 (or below), the text appears below the image, or appears with a massive amount of padding.

Here's the HTML of the tables:

<!-- Display: table div -->
<div class="about_us_row_content_wrapper boxsizing">
                            <!-- Table cell 1 with width 35% -->
                <div class="about_us_column about_us_image">
                    <img src="<?php echo $link_path . 'images/aboutus/all_devices.png'; ?>" alt="Works on all devices, such as tablets, mobiles and desktops" />
                </div>
                            <!-- Table cell 2 with assumed auto width, but text is dropping down-->
                <div class="about_us_column">
                    <h3 class="opensans_thin about_us_section_header">Polls Everywhere, No compromises</h3>
                    <p class="about_us_section_paragraph">We worked hard so that you can make and take polls anywhere, anytime - no matter which device you're using.</p>
                    <p class="about_us_section_paragraph">Our fully featured poll maker works perfectly on phones, tablets and traditional desktops.</p>
                </div>
            </div>

Here's the key pieces of CSS:

div.about_us_row_content_wrapper { display: table; max-width: 990px; text-align: left; }
.boxsizing { -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; }
div.about_us_row_content_wrapper img { vertical-align: top; } 
div.about_us_column { display: table-cell; }
div.about_us_image { margin-left: 50px; width: 35%; }
h3.about_us_section_header { margin: 0 0 24px 0; vertical-align: top; font-size: 1.5em; }
p.about_us_section_paragraph { vertical-align: top; }

I have tried adding vertical-align: top; to all of the text inside the cell, but this doesn't work.

I have also tried adding width: 50% to both of the cells to see if this gives the text enough room to rise upwards, but it doesn't.

The table-cell elements don't have a min-height on them either, or padding, so I'm not sure where it's getting it from.

Here is it working fine in Chrome:

Here is it not working as expected in IE10:

Answer 1

You need to give vertical align to top :- apply this to all ur right columns

.about_us_column{
    vertical-align: top;
}
