I am looking to absolutly position an table in the center of my webpage. I am trying to do this because there is a picture I would like to position at the top of my table halfway in the table and halfway out of the table. I was wondering how I would go about aligning the horizontial axis to center and the vertical axis to a variable such as 30px from the top. Does anyone get what I am saying or is it too confusing?

Well, I personally don't know how to do it solely with CSS because I'm always too busy doing stuff with script. If you don't get a reply on how to do it with CSS then this demo page might help give you some ideas.

Why must it be abslute center?
If you want it to look like it's centered in all resolutions, why not do it with relative positioning and percentages?
Take this for an example (just a quickie but it shows the thought) http://www.dmsproject.com/test/winTest.html

Would be pretty easy to just have a div with its contents set to center, the just put your table within those tags.

Personally i wouldnt use the percentage thing, when you resize your window it doesnt always seem to stay in the center, i think it takes the percentage from the left of your image? So this means it wont always be even.

Are you using CSS skate?

Pretty easy with CSS actually skate,

this goes withing your <head>

<style>
#myTable
{
top: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
</style>

then in your body

<div ID="myTable">
<table>
<tr><td>Table Data Etc</td></tr>
</table>
</div>


That would be a really easy way to do it imo, if you keep your CSS simple too it should work in most browsers.

Anyhow i think thats what you were after let me know if im wrong ,hope it helps :0
