As I wrote before, I read about the "Centering with auto-margins" technique in Eric Meyer's book "CSS The definitive Guide". Applying this technique for centering horizontally, Eric gives an example where an outer DIV with relative positioning wraps an inner one with absolute positioning. Two pages on, Eric gives a similar example for vertically centering, but this time he states that "no version of IE supported the vertical-centering behavior ...", i.e. explicitly limiting the flaw to vertically centering. So I was in doubt about whether I did something wrong. Thanks for acknowledging that IE is the flaw :-) > Result: the auto-margins becomes useless in that browser. Any workarounds available? I used absolute positioning to take the element out of the normal page flow and display it on top of other text (with opacity applied). I reckon, floated elements can not be used instead.
