i have a site that is based inside a table, which is 100% wide, but only like 40% high. how would i make it so that the table would vertically align in the center, instead of at the top or bottom?

Well, this post is about a week old, but if you still need help, I’ll try…

Put the table containing your site inside another table. Make the tag for the new table like so:

```php
<table width="100%" border="0" height="100%">

```

And then, make the regular TR and TD tags, but in the TD tag put align and valign commands:

```php
<td align="center" valign="middle">

```

and then put your site in this TD, so the whole thing would look like:

```php

<table width="100%" border="0" height="100%">
  <tr>
    <td align="center" valign="middle">[Your Site Here]</td>
  </tr>
</table>

```

Hope it helps…
