@ray326Jul 10.2004 — Fragment:

#container {

/* put the upper left corner at the center */

position:absolute;

top:50%; left:50%;

/* use neg margins to reposition the box up and over half its size */

margin: -25% -19em;

Ok that's the technique but it's cut and try because you don't define the height and you have width padding. It works best with absolute sized containers.

Success!
