Can't Align sites centered in the browser window

I can't align the sites centered in the browser windo as of late. I used to be
able to create a table...

<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle">Hello World! </td>
</tr>
</table>

and all my content would be vert & horz centered in the window, now it pushes
everything to the very top of the bvrowser window. Why is that? Is anyone else
having the same problem?

That is because of late a valid doctype has been inserted into your
page. This forces the browser (some of them grudgingly) to adhere to
HTML standards, and table height was never valid HTML. So any
self-respecting browser in standards mode ignores your 100% height.

A simple search will turn up more than you want to know about this.

Thanks! That was it! I upgraded to Dreamweaver MX 2004 and thats when it stopped working, because it by default enters another doc-type.

Thanks!
