centering (horizontally and vertically)
is it possible to center something vertically inside a container without the use of tables?

I know you use text-align to center horizontally, but what is used for vertical alignment? vertical-align doesn't work.


PHP Code:
<div style="width:100% height:100%; text-align:center;">

    <!-- code goes here -->

</div> 


thanks

goran.

Short answer—no. A single celled table, using td's default valign="middle" is the only reasonably clean method.

Check out my vertical centering demo.

cheers,
