I have an unordered list styled to display horizontally. One of the li elements contains a div element. This div element is filled using ajax, though it shouldn't matter.
The div element has a larger height than the rest of the li elements, and by default it aligns with the bottom of the parent container.
Update: Well, isn't this awkward. I coded a simpler example in jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/Bfp3K/, and it works properly. I have to check my code again to get the error in the sandbox.
Update2: It wasn't that easy after all. I have added my proposed (and used) solution.
Update3: Disregard the previous answer, it wasn't correct. This is a simplified and testable example of the problem:
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Bfp3K/10/
CSS:
#one {
background-color:red;
}
#two {
background-color:green;
}
#three {
background-color:yellow;
}
#four {
background-color:blue;
}
.normal {
height:100px;
width:200px;
display:inline-block;
}
.big {
height:200px;
width:300px;
display:inline-block;
}
ul {
display:block;
}
ul li{
display:inline;
}
HTML:
<ul>
<li><div id="one" class="normal">One</div></li>
<li><div id="two" class="normal">Two</div></li>
<li><div id="three" class="normal">Three</div></li>
<li><div id="four" class="big">
The last div vertically aligns to it's content's last line of text. I want to align the top of all the colored divs.
</div></li>
</ul>
