Here's another (probably older) approach to vertical centering with CSS I've been using for a while.
http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/thebox/deadcentre3.html This one doesn't need any proprietary IE code to get the centering to work in IE, but it does require a bit of extra markup as well as using 'absolute' positioning which can be a hassle in some situations. I haven't tested the technique Klaus linked to, but I think I actually I like that one better for most situations (http://stilbuero.de/demo/vertical_centering/).

I think that's acceptable, because it degrades well. -- Klaus _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
