Automatic vertical padding in some browsers?

[thekooliest]

I'm not sure but it seems like Chrome, Opera, and Safari automatically add padding to center the input value vertically. An example is at answersforpilots.com/test.html.
Does anyone know how to combat this? Cause I'm trying to center my text vertically in every browser, and say I add padding-top:10px to my CSS...well then in those three browsers the text is at the very bottom. I would have just left it and then added padding in my IE style sheet. But, firefox doesnt automatically center either, being kind of a problem for me. I kinda rambled lol, but any help would be appreciated.

try margin:0px;padding:0px;

If no, then maybe you have set height , when you add padding-top:10px, then remove 10px from the element height.

Nah I dont think thats it. See this code:

<input type="text" style="height:50px;margin:0;padding:0" value="Is it centered?" />

Displays this. And it looks centered on Chrome, Opera and Safari........
Really confusing me lol,
