Image or text not centering in Table

It's not that it's not 'good' HTML. It's that it's invalid HTML. Table
height is not now, and never was part of the HTML specification.

The solution is to not rely on designs that require such effects.

In DW2004 you
get full tiling.

That's because pages created in DMX were created with a broken doctype. It
was a bug in DMX. When a browser sees a page with a broken doctype (or with
NO doctype) that page is rendered in QUIRKS mode, not standards mode. This
is what allows table height to be expressed (sort of - it fails on Macs,
however). DMX2004 writes pages with a proper loose doctype, and in
standards mode, table height is not recognized.

Nadia, thank you for your comments. While I agree that "height =100%" is
not
good html code, sometimes you need it. What would you suggest in this
case? You
have a two column one row table. You want a background image to be tiled
from
top to bottom of screen in left column. In DW2004MX you will get just
tiling to
the bottom of the content in column 2 (with height set to 100%). In DW2004
you
get full tiling. In writing raw HTML code outside of DW you get full
tiling. I
still feel it's a flaw in DWMX2004. Well maybe a flaw is too strong a
language--maybe MX2004 is too strict on proper coding. This is all
evaluated on
using IE. And I don't think using third party software is the answer.
Centering
an image vertically and horizontally on the screen should be a simple
thing to
do. This is not my web site, but check out the source code on
http://www.chronologicalorder.com where an image is centered v and h.
Thank
you for your help.
