How can I, let's see how to say this. Align text to the middle of a div (up and down)... not really a center

As much as I dislike tables for layout, vertical centering is one area that has no CSS equivalent.
Code:
 <div style="position: relative; width: 200px; height: 200px;">
      <table style="height: 100%;">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <p>Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of
            their country.</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </div>
This uses the default td attribute "valign='middle'" I've used this method to center pages in the viewport.

cheers,

gary

Well, I looked into the method in Andreas's link, but I just can't seem to get it to do anything like what it's meant to, so I agree with Gary, tables are the only way to achieve what you're after...

It depends what the container is. Some block level elements don't position horizontally. (I'm sure there's a list somewhere) You could always use margin/padding too.

I have learned to not use margin and padding and stuff like that... It isn't cross browser at all, firefox has one hell of a time with it. Besides, IE doesn't view the web as it is suppose to be viewed, so yea...

I'll try what was suggested about the div aligning, thanks!
