There is number of ways, the ones that work on IE require negative
margin, and thus are almost guaranteed to cause inaccessible content.
Is there a way to do it and that works in Opera, IE and Mozilla?
Thanks,
Yes, but it causes content to be inaccessible very easily in IE.

news:op.snz7vcfhr3xrds@cinza... Yet another question about vertical centering: How can I center a page
vertically?
I have searched on Google and didn't find anything that works at least on
IE, Opera and Mozilla:
http://milov.nl/code/css/verticalcenter.html
Or using a table: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/centering.html
Is there a way to do it and that works in Opera, IE and Mozilla?
Thanks,
This may not be what you wanted but the following works in IE. I don't use
other browsers so I can't say what will happen in them.
Good Luck,
me
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100%"
align="center">
<tr>
<td>
<div align="center">stuff centered vertically and horizontally</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Please understand that my comments here are not an aspersion on you Mr.
Reed. From what I've seen yours is the first answer other than my own with
any hope of succeeding.
The solution offered at apptools.com has some problems. It doesn't work in
IE for Mac. This isn't a problem for me since I only design for IE users on
Windows but if accessibility for all is the author's goal then his solution
is a failure.
The DTD on the example pages is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't strict is it? If the author's
goal was to avoid quirks mode and use a strict DTD then why didn't he do so
in his own examples?
In the first three examples there is a border around the table but not in
the last example, this inconsistency (oversight?) does not inspire
confidence.

Here's an example based on the AppTools page in XHTML Strict which validates
and works in everything I've tested it in on PC - IE5, 5.5 and 6, FireFox,
Moz, NN7 and Opera 7. I don't have access to a Mac at present. http://www.reeddesign.co.uk/test/centered.html
And here's a different way to do it. Also XHTML Strict. Also validates. http://www.reeddesign.co.uk/test/centered2.html

I have no problem taking your word that those pages validate. I myself am
not concerned with validation. Some in this NG claim that it is unacceptable
to do anything that is less than completely accessible to all users. Based
on the claims made by AppTools I was supprised that the author would advise
against using tables and instead suggest a method that fails in IE on Mac.

You should learn what web accessiblity is and is not.
Accessibility has nothing to do with looking the same, or even similar,
in different browsers. The ability to center content (or not) ain't it,
for sure.
And FWIW, MacIE is a dying browser. I, for one, have mostly given up
trying to cater to its eccentricities.

Maybe, it's dam hard to tell what some people in this (and .authoring.html)
NG want. Some seem violently opposed to IE, JS or doing anything at all that
might not be 100% acessible to every browser on the planet.
And FWIW, MacIE is a dying browser. I, for one, have mostly given up
trying to cater to its eccentricities.
From that I conclude you feel certain groups are expendable, is that how you
define good accessibility?

Again, you are mistaking the visuals for accessibility.
By my comment I only meant that I no longer bend over backwards trying
to give comparable renderings between MacIE and other modern browsers
any more. It has fallen more into the Netscape 4 category and will get
minimally styled content if its CSS quirks can't easily be overcome.
This is another concept you probably have a hard time comprehending.

I assumed as much, I just wanted to see what you'd say.

Undoubtedly (sigh) I guess I'll just have to muddle along.
