</td>

<td class="right">

<a class="direc" href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>

</div>

Edit/

After using google I came across this bit of info from this source.

"We already know this works on table cells, so we can set that aside. The fact that it only applies to inline-level element will quickly eliminate some of the confusion, so don't even bother trying to vertically align block-level elements with the vertical-align property. What the second part of the definition is trying to say, in conjunction with the first part, is that the vertical-align property must be applied to the inline-level element that is a child of another element."

Question: My question now is how do you vertically align block objects inside of a cell if the vertical-align attribute does not apply to block elements?
