Just use a table and valign that. When your using plain HTML for anything more than an insignificant page it's almost impossible to write "proper" code.

There is no reliable way to do it. |

Like wtd said, there's no real way to do it easily and effectively. You could use a bunch of <br /> tags, but then that doesn't work at all resolutions. You could use Javascript, but that too creates problems with many browsers. You could insert a table which covers the entire screen and add a <td valign="middle"> in there, but that's far from proper technique. Honestly there's no easy way to do this, and it's not recommended you use one of the above techniques to do it either. |

That does centering left/right (in some browsers... forget about most versions of IE). Vertical centering is rather difficult though. Fortunately it's almost always pointless... so unless you have a really reason it's not worth hacking together. |
