    (Just in case you decide we're arguing here, this is one way to center the div:
    Position it absolutely 50% in either direction, then set it's margins to be negative 1/2 it's height and width. Done. Finished. [except it doesn't work in IE unless you take the doctype out])

    ===================

    Why must we know the height and width at the time of html creation?
    100% width and height table in quirksmode always works and I don't have to predict the height of the content. Why didn't those nerds come up with a simple and usable centering method?
    These are the tiny things that make me think that quirksmode was the best way. It was html 4 adapting to real world needs.
