That browser supports selectors of the type #vc-frame[id], but has no support for display:table-*. I'm not surprised that davidL is reporting a failure. One would have to throw IE into Quirks mode for it to work. (I haven' seen the thing 'live on IE', as I'm nowhere near to a Windows machine). Sorry guys-- The monitor has died on my Windows machine and I'm waiting for a new one to come in. I was under the impression that IE7 was supporting display:table-*, but clearly, that's incorrect. Presumably, moving the IE only code block into a conditional comment block will fix that. If you get a chance, please have another look at: http://www.webdevelopedia.com/vertical_centering_unknown_height.html ...and let me know how it fares. I should have a new monitor for the Windows Beast tomorrow, so I can test before sending off any more bad info. I don't have a Mac or access to one, so I'm also a little curious to know how it does on a Mac OS. Thanks.

Bill Brown wrote: http://www.webdevelopedia.com/vertical_centering_unknown_height.html I'll only mention the usual weakness with vertically centering an element by offsetting it - as you do in IE7 and older, as tall elements on short windows will end up partly above the screen and out of reach. This overflow is normally not a problem since the element is most often shorter than the window. It is however enough of a problem in some cases, to warrant the existence of a different solution... http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_20.html The advantage is that the centered element stays within reach no matter the size of it and the window. The disadvantage is that I have used an IE-expression to simulate CSS table behavior in IE7 and older. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Just to make sure nothing gets lost in translation: full page centering and in-page content centering are two sides of the same thing as far as I'm concerned. I cover both page centering and sentence (in a paragraph) centering in the article I linked to, and the latter is also exemplified in one of the demos following my article... http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_11g.html I have also covered the limitations. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
