[RESOLVED] html\css vertical alignment of a div tag not working

[chris1990]

Thanks for the help much appreciated, though i already came up with a workaround, thought i'd post my solution incase anyone else needs it.

changes to index.html

<div id="fixedmenu">
<div id="fixedmenutext">
  <span class="main_nav_links"><a href="index.html">HOME</a> : <a href="about.html">ABOUT</a> :<a href="services.html"> SERVICES</a> : <a href="contact.html">CONTACT</a> : <a href="book.html">BOOK NOW</a></span></div>
</div>

changes to layout.css

#fixedmenutext {
	height: 50px;
	width: 800px;
	overflow: hidden;
	vertical-align: middle;
	margin: auto;
	padding-top: 12px;
	padding-right: 0px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	padding-left: 0px;
}

changes to styles.css

.main_nav_links {
	font-family: Tahoma;
	font-size: 30px;
	font-style: normal;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-transform: capitalize;
	color: #000000;
	text-align: center;
	vertical-align: middle;
	text-decoration: none;
	margin-top: 5px;
	margin-bottom: 5px;
	left: auto;
	top: auto;
	right: auto;
	bottom: auto;
}
.main_nav_links A:link {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #000000;
}
.main_nav_links A:visited {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #000000;
}
.main_nav_links A:active {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #003366;
}
.main_nav_links A:hover {
