table aligning with css

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is it possible to align a table, or anyother object for that matter, vertically in the middle? I’m going to make a page that’s not going to be more than 800×600. So, i want to vertically align my table with all the content in in the center of the window, even if the resoltuion is changed to lets say 1024×768. Is this possible with css.
Thanks

Only if you know it's exact height & width, (unless it's a background image).



eg

position:absolute;left:50%;top:50%; width:200px; height:300px; margin:-150px 0 0 -100px;





BTW, you shouldn't be using <table> for creating general layout in the first place.

@minulescuauthorDec 09.2002 — I know i shouldnt be using table for alignment, but i dunno too much about css, so I'm gonna "abuse" tables, like U usually say Stefan ? . I know i shouldnt but hey, what can I do. I'm gonna use what I can and know how to use. I have one question tho. If u set the margin, like you did above, is that only for the item/object specified?? or does it change my whole page to that margin?

Thanks

Yes, you want to specify it for the specific object you want to center.
