Since I started messing around with front end (JavaFX and css), the expression "code works and I don't know why" just gained a whole new level.. I have no idea how did those boxes aligned..

I know just how you feel! Had a group project in one of my classes where we had to implement a poker game in Java, and I was one of two guys writing all the front end stuff. After 3-4 months of writing JavaFX and CSS code for the project, I still don't know how half the code we wrote works :P But hey, if it aint broke..

Have you encountered 'vertical-align' in CSS?
