Hi Tatham,

You can't fix it for IE unless you use a simple table:

<table id="layoutgrid">
<tr> <td > This in the middle? </td>
 </tr>
</table

and the css is:

<style type="text/css">
/* Thanks to Rimantas Liubertas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for suggesting 'td' */

body, html {
        margin  : 0;
        padding : 0;
        height  : 100%;
}
#layoutgrid{
        display : table;
        height  : 100%;
        width   : 100%;
}
#layoutgrid td {
        vertical-align : middle;
        text-align      : center;
}
-->
</style>

(I think you tried this before - on an early e-oddie?)

Guys / girls,

I’m having some problems with the vertical positioning on www.whatcanido.com.au <http://www.whatcanido.com.au/>. Basically the content area is restricted to a maximum height of 600px, and after that I want it be vertically centred on the page. I’m aware of numerous ways to do this (implemented it on www.e-oddie.com <http://www.e-oddie.com/>) however I can’t actually get any of them to work reliably.

You’ll need to look at the page on a higher resolution (1280x1024 or up) to see what I mean. To see what I want to achieve, try adding a margin-top rule to the html selector.

(IE is completely stuffed in this regard – if anybody has an idea of how I might be able to start fixing this let me know)

Thanks,

Tatham Oddie
