Hi there whatson,
here is a basic example...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="language" content="english">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
<title>centered element without height</title>
<style type="text/css">
html,body {
display:table;
width:100%;
height:100%;
margin:0;
}
body {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
}
#centered {
width:760px;
padding:20px;
border:1px solid #999;
border-radius:10px;
margin:auto;
background-color:#fff;
box-shadow:10px 10px 20px #666;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="centered">
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec
ultricies sollicitudin nisi, ut molestie felis adipiscing sit

Quisque magna magna, laoreet eu tempus sit amet, fringilla at
tellus. Praesent felis tortor, scelerisque vitae fringilla

Phasellus porta, dui a elementum egestas, odio sapien rhoncus

Overlapping birdbrain, who clearly types much faster than I do.
My gosh. This question came up only a few weeks ago. I remember it well, because I initially came up with a completely wrong answer.
