Sorry Darren - it was late an i was tired! Vertical/Horizontal, Left/Right... I don't think there is a need to do anything too exciting, the container of the list should just need a text-align:center. Is this basically what you are after? I have made the div only 300px wide so you get the wrapping

Hi Matt, I'm trying to vertically align all the items inside an li. This could be achieved with the valign of a table cell, but tables are not an option! The li's are floating left. I want the labels, inputs, p's etc to be vertically aligned in their containing li. This is one of the lists I'm
