Vertical centering with CSS, is it nothing more than a folktale? Not according to what was reading here. Apparently, if you know what you are doing, you can in fact have vertical centering with both text and even with images.

See, CSS is not the fire breathing monster that we were once told. With a little time and patience this can be mastered and by all means, even tweaked a little. As they say, time will heal all wounds. Even those self inflicted ones that come from working on Web projects. ;o)

There has been some urban legends about vertical centering being not possible using CSS. Truth is that there is many ways to vertically center things in the middle of fixed height elements or viewport. The real problem is that Browser support is not best, especially bad is support of MS Internet Explorer, that is currently most used browser.
