Vertical text odddity

Hi,

I'm trying to add a label that shows the text vertically and right
aligned. It's working fine when the label is horizontal, but when
vertical, the text disappears. The labels are ok when designing the
same forms on my work pc, but do as mentioned at home. I've got a
feeling something simple is amiss, and any suggestions are welcome.

Regards,

Peter :'(

To determine the cause of this issue try the following one at a time:

Double check all of the relevant property settings of your Lable control at
home and work. Just make sure you didn't change anything by accident(ie
Margin props).

Ensure you are using the same font at home and work.

Change the Printer Driver resolution setting(quality ) to match that of your
work printer.

Change your Video Card Resolution setting to match that of your work
computer.

Change the Windows Font Size setting of the home computer to math the work
computer.

Okay, I've been scouring Google for hours looking for a solution to this problem, but as of yet I can't find one. XHTML Transitional seems to specify that I can no longer set a table's height to 100% and vertically center content inside of it. Therefore, I'm seeking a way, preferably in CSS to vertically center a site. Here's more of a visual to what I have: /********************************

The main problems are the vertical centering of the info area, and of the text inside the squares.

I need to get the right combination for a div to clip any text inside and allow vertical alignment. I only have this problem in FireFox. I have 3 divs nested within each other. The outer div has display of table, the first inner div has display of table-cell and the inner-most div has the text. The outer div has a set width and height. So here's the problem: Without the inner divs having a width and height set, the overflow:hidden doesn't...

Hi- I am trying to center a web page. It seems like this should be very simple to do, but apparently it isn't my day. I have successfully centered the background by calling it in the css body tag: body { font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial; cursor : default; background:#000000 url("Images/long-template.jpg"); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position: center; background-attachment:scroll; height: 1228px;
