To vertically align text next to an image using jQuery, you can manipulate the CSS properties of the elements containing the text and image. Here's an example of how you can achieve vertical alignment:

HTML Structure:

<div class="container">
  <img src="your-image-url.jpg" alt="Image">
  <p class="text">Your text goes here.</p>
</div>

CSS:

.container {
  display: flex; /* Use flexbox for vertical alignment */
  align-items: center; /* Vertically center items */
}

.text {
  margin-left: 10px; /* Add margin to create space between image and text */
}

JavaScript (jQuery):

$(document).ready(function () {
  // Your jQuery code here (if needed)
});

In this example:

1. We have a container <div> that wraps both the image and the text.
2. We use CSS to set the container to display: flex; and align-items: center;. This centers the items vertically within the container.
3. We add a margin to the text element to create space between the image and the text.

You can adjust the CSS properties, such as margin-left, to control the spacing between the image and the text according to your design preferences.
