I agree perfectly that the use of tables may in some cases be helpful, but in this specific case the offender (in the original page) was Mac IE, that still has problems even with the single cell table. AKAIK, the source of the Mac IE problem is that there is only a combination of height:100% on html, body, wrapper that really works to "fill" the viewport, and this is: - quirks mode, - no specified height on html, - height:100% on a wrapper (table or whatever) Satisfy these conditions and then the single-cell-table and some of the other "dead center" solutions work in IE/Mac. In cases (all?) when the "quirks mode" requirement rules out this solution, the best thing is probably to hide any attempt of "viewport vertical centering" to IE/Mac. Of course maybe there are other IE/Mac solutions, but I haven't seen any.
