[font=System][size=2]Hello,

I’m interested in some feedback and suggestions on centering both horizontally and vertically DIV content on the following page.

[www.demo.zanzinato.com/center](http://www.demo.zanzinato.com/center)

I am trying to move away from a tables based layout and would like this to be as clean and optimized as possible. I am aiming for fixed horizontal width but fluid vertical height. I’ve got a pretty good start however I would like to get it working in Mac IE 5.2.3 and it seems to be having trouble with one of the backgrounds.

If you could glance this over I would be most interested in other opinions.

Thanks a lot!
