If you can set width and height something like this should work:

position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
height: 1.2em;
width: 15em;
text-align: center;

Thanks Ben. Actually, text will be "Loading..."
I tried your suggestion, it's working fine in Opera but not IE7

I read the article (pretty good). The problem in my case is that
height is variable...
Any idea?
Thanks,

Charles.

If it's just one line-- "Loading..."-- then I was thinking you could set
the height to about 1.2em. That should be about the right size.

Otherwise you need a table, and if you want it to work in IE, that means
a <table>.

Thanks Ben, yes, in my case I'll use this: http://auriance.com/docs/tmp/align.div.html
Seems to be working fine in most browsers. If I need to center a Flash
movie, I'll take care of the height of the movie and I'll substract
1/2 of its height in the negative top margin to keep it centered
Cheers,
