html coding question

Is there a way you can vertically align a table to the center of the page? I know it can be done horizontally.

You could create a single cell table the width and height of your page and put the table inside then centre that. There's probably an easier way tho

Thanks bob269, I'd try that, but with percentages, as not everyone will have the same sized window I have.

try this

<table width=100% height=98%>
<tr><td>
<table width=750>
<tr><td>Content here</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<table>

This should align your 750 pixel table to the centre of the page horizontally and vertically.
