Why is the link aligning to the bottom next to an image?

I am creating a page and I have a link that is text right next to an image that I also want to be in the link: Example: <tr> <td align="right" valign="center"> <a href="link.html" class="bodybold">Link Text <img src="images/image_1.gif" border="0"></a> </td> </tr> But when it displays the text is a lot lower than the image is. Is there a way to have these so they are both centered vertically?

Certainly.
Put the CSS style:
vertical-align: middle
on the image element.

The reason they do not look vertically centered is, that the text and the image are two inline elements - meaning that they belong to the same line. The line itself - which is a block element - is in fact centered, because the table cell has valign="center". But to change the alignment between the text and the image internally, you need to specify it using the vertical-align CSS property.
