Sorry about the late reply - I'm backlogged :-) The relevant page on the css-discuss wiki is http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CenteringBlockElement - scroll to the bottom. Most techniques listed require you to know the height of the div you are centering. One doesn't : http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html It needs 3 nested divs to work in IE.

Thanks, -Aaron - I'm not sure if I understand. Is something like this what you're after? http://www.dlaakso.com/sandbox/center-stuff.html If it is, approach with caution. You'll need to clear the chrome at 800(and everyone has a different setup), so height is restricted to approx. 380px or less; and there are inherent problems, particularly dealing with text-on zoom, and (possibly) sidebar users. Degrades in Mac/5.2 centered horizontal at top viewport.

Vertically align the div in relation to what? Another div? The viewport? Align the tops vertically or the centers vertically? Etc. Inside a generic container. Something that's been done for decades in print media (go page through a magazine). Something that was perfectly possible using table-based layouts (valign=middle). Something that is hair-pullingly difficult using CSS ( http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html ). david __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] Vertically align a div when height is dynamic
Aaron Seelye wrote: Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm after, except the height is obviously much larger than 380px, and couldn't be locked in to a specific value, and might at some point be taller than the viewport, so it'd have to be able to adapt to that. If it can't that's fine, I'm just essentially playing around with css, but I'm just trying to see what I can do with it. Thanks, - Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm after. That's nice, Just who is it you are responding to? Me http://www.dlaakso.com/sandbox/center-stuff.html, or someone else? Moral: do not top post, please.
