Table alignment

Hey,

I have laid out my web site using tables and was wondering if anyone knew how to center the table vertically?

I have set the table up with align="center" to center it horizontally on the page but the table is at the top of the browser...

Can anyone help?

You could try valign="middle"

I've tried that and it only seems to move the page from left to right not up and down the browser window?!?!

Is it possible to align the table this way?

To use VALIGN=CENTER you have to pre-determine the height of your page by enclosing it inside of a table. Unless you limit a page height some way then the HTML has no way of knowing where the vertical "center" is.

Once you have created an all encompassing table then the table you are trying to center can be manipulated as table data. In this example I used 100% of the available space for the encompassing table size -
