How to align a label to the top middle of the div control and draw a rectangle around it?

Question

I have a label and 4 buttons  inside a div control.

I want the 2 buttons to appear on the far left hand side of the div control and 2 buttons on the far right hand side of the same div.I want to align only label to the top middle of the div control and draw a rectangle/ellipse around that text.And also i want to display the characters of that label's text one by one from left to right .

I added a css style of vertical-align: top to the label, It has taken the label to the top of the division vertically, but not horizontally.

How can i modify the style to achive the same.

HTML:

<div id="imagecontainer">
 <image id="imagehome"/>

<input type="button" id = button1"/>

<input type="button" id = button2"/>

<input type="button" id = button3"/>

<input type="button" id = button4"/>  

</div>

in css:

#imagehome{

vertical-align: top;

}
