Maybe I'm too tired.
Given:
<div><ul></ul></div>
I think
div {position: relative};
ul {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
height: 5em;
margin-top: -2.5em;
}
does it. Or does the div need a height too? Okay, in this case it would,
since there's nothing *in* the div, but in a similar case, where the div has
other contents to give it an implicit height.
