There is. It works in Opera, Gecko-based browsers and WebKit/KHTML browsers. It doesn't work in IE6, and probably not IE7. I'm unsure about IE8. But one can hack around IE's lack of support. code: <!doctype html> <style> div { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; margin: auto; border: 1px solid black; width: 100px; height: 100px; } </style> <div>hey</div> Demo.

IE6, but they get progressively lamer, so it's best to state exactly what sort of vertical centering you need so you can choose the least lame one (or so someone can inform you of the least lame one they know of).

There is. It works in Opera, Gecko-based browsers and WebKit/KHTML browsers. It doesn't work in IE6, and probably not IE7. I'm unsure about IE8. But one can hack around IE's lack of support.

code:

<!doctype html>
<style>
div {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  margin: auto;
  border: 1px solid black;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
}
</style>
<div>hey</div>

Demo.
