Vertically Centering Content - GoFuckYourself.com

besides using frames does anybody know if there is a way to center content vertically in a webpage so it doesn't matter what resolution the surfer's monitor is set at the content is centered vertically on his screen?

Tables?

align="center" on each image tag

doh....... i get horizontal and vertical mixed up.

I mean centering it North to South, on the Y axis. Old <center> tag still works nicely to center things on the X axis.

thought maybe there was some hahahahahahahahahaha or CSS code that could do what I want but so far no luck.

frames work but i hate frames.

North to south is vertical.

crop-cgi-php then you have to go south of the border and grab a table from TacoBell and use auto resize and e-mail the page to 500 surfers to make sure that the fucker is centered!

Hope that helped!

You'd have to use hahahahahahahahahaha as far as I know.

But it'll be tough, because even if 1000 people visit your site at 800x600, the center of the browser can be different for all of them depending on what toolbars they're showing and how they have em set up.

Create a table. Set the height to 100%. Any and all content on the page must be within the cell of this table for the content of the page to be centred.

<table height="100%" align="center">
<tr><td>
<IMG SRC="imagegoeshere.jpg">
</td></tr>
</table>

Hope that's what you were after.

i don't think that works, but admittedly i haven't tried that since NS and IE 4 generation of browsers. I'll try it, maybe the newer browsers deal better with % height tags these days.

chodadog · 01-18-2004, 08:29 AM

I've only tried it in IE 6 and Mozilla Firebird. Works in both of those. Not sure about other browsers or other versions.

you forgot valign=middle

align=center is for the horizontal alignment.

But the default valign value for a table cell is middle, isn't it?
