Vertically align table

[Hetzel]

Is there a way to vertically center a table? I don't want the content inside the table to be vertically centered (<td valign="middle">), but the entire table.

I know you can align the table width, like this:

<table width="700" height="700" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td background="bground_trans.png">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

So is there a html code to vertically center the table also?

Thanks a lot

This was mentioned recently [webmasterworld.com] and one solution is Dead Centre [webmasterworld.com] originally posted here by SuzyUK.

FYI, valign="middle" is the default behavior of a table cell in most browsers, no need to specify it, and valign is also deprecated as is nowrap, width, and height.

I would assume the best solution is to use css to control the padding/margin for the placement of the table within your webpage?
