Sweet, but you may want to offer some additional explanation for  
those interested.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this technique requires a fixed-height  
container to center it vertically. So it would work for alerts,  
logins, and other static areas, but not variable content (scrollable  
divs aside).

Also, in your CSS comments it might help the original poster (and  
others interested in why it works) if you added some comments about  
why you are using both body {text-align:center;} AND #horizontal 
{margin-left: auto;margin-right:auto;}. I only say this because the  
purpose of the example seems to be to illustrate.

It's probably also worth explaining why the box is not actually  
centered vertically on the page.

Great work,
Brad =)
