[UPHPU] More CSS frustration

Hi All,

The above is true, but the table is now hanging out there in the  
markup (sigh). There is another alternative to consider. It's not as  
*pure* as I would like, but it works in FF/IE6/IE7, and isn't a  
complete mess. So if forced, I'd probably consider the following  
example:

<div style="border: 1px solid black; display: table; height: 400px;  
#position: relative; overflow: hidden;"><div style="#position:  
absolute; #top: 50%;display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle;"><div  
style="border: 1px solid blue; #position: relative; #top: -50%;  
"><h1>Big text</h1><h2>Adjustable height</h2>	</div></div></div>

Anyone else have any ideas? I'd love to read them.
