troubles with vertical alignment

Hello everyone,
I'm back here, as I usually am every few months, with a problem I need help with.

This should be very very easy, I have been searching the web, these boards, but I cannot solve this.

Plese take a look at www.medinaconsultants.com

All I need to do is center the white horizontal area vertially on the page. That's it...

However, nothing I try works. Somebody please help!!!! :(

pad the css box at the top til you get it centered..

that's what I was thinking, put some line breaks until it looks centered.

You can either use a Table or CSS. Tables you can just set the valign property and your away, but I don't think its validate HTML4 strict or XHTML.

The CSS way...I believe involves alot of hacks, as vertical-align is for use with Tables, not text.

do u mean make the white area in align center??

hi guys, thanks for the responses

adding linebreaks wont do the trick, as this will look different in different resolutions

can't really use tables (at least the way I tried), because i can't manage to set the table's height to 100% of the window. height="100%" doesn't seem to do the trick..

hmmm, what are hacks? what should i look into in css to take care of this?

thanks!

kenny_o: I mean align the white space vertically within the browser window

style="height:100%" should give it a height of 100... the height property only works for IE.

HTML Code:

---

<table style="height:100%">
<tr>
<td valig="middle">
MIDDLE ME!
</td>
</table>

---

Its not a great way of doing it, but it works. :)

As for CSS versions..

Theres a few different ways of doing it.

Aha, I use Firefox primarily, so that would explain why I had troubles with that.

Will look into that link.

Thanks!

This code will work in all broswers, just might take a bit of tweaking with the size to get it aligned in opera, firefox and IE and safari.

CSS CODE

Padding: 5px 0px 0px 0px;

I think this is right to pad the top out, if not play with all four of them to do so.

this wil lwork

Yeah, but it won't work if the user has a different screen size though will it? 1024, 800,640... center is going to be different for each of them so you can't use a fixed measurement for the job.
