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.

OK it makes perfect sense, but I couldn't get it to work. I forgot to mention that my div is actually floating left - could this be the cause of unordered chaos?
