The design is pretty basic: a fixed height header (left-aligned and always at the top of the page), and underneath that vertically centered images in a horizontal row (yes, horizontal scrolling, i know).</p> <p>Ideally i would want the vertical centering of the images to be based on the 100% height of the viewport - the header (so a dynamic height that prevents the content from overlapping the header). </p> <p>An example of the website can be found on <a href="http://bit.ly/vl1XNY" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://bit.ly/vl1XNY</a>, which is currently using tables for layout. The css and html i used can be found there too (of course).</p> <p>I am aware of various solutions for centering content vertically within a container of fixed height, however none of them have worked for me because i'm using variable height and do not want to use absolute positioning (to prevent overlap). I have looked around and tried the table-cell solution, the line-height one, and the absolute positioning one.</p> <p>So far the only solution that has worked exactly as i intended was using tables. But i would like to refrain from using them. Is anyone aware of a valid css and html solution for this problem? Or at least a more graceful solution?</p>

    1. COThe table-cell solutions should have the same effect as using table elements. You could also try: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~laurirai/www/css/middle/#valhib

    2. COIf the absolute positioning with 50% doesn't work... I'd personally use tables. It's not a whole website made of tables, it's tabular data (in a way) so there's no crime about it. Your example uses tables...

    3. CO@utopicam, yeah i think i will continue using tables, it seems to be the only solution for a layout like this. Btw. the example i linked to was the solution i'd come up with so far. And yeah it uses tables, as it was the only way to achieve the layout i wanted. It's a shame that it's not just the images that are in a table, but the whole page, but was the only way i could achieve the look i was after.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
