Center (vertical and horizontal) a table in a table cell

I tried to insert a table in a cell of another table. I would like to have the new table centered (both V and H). No matter what I do, the new table always at the top of the cell (center is working, but not valign="middle").

Have you tried adding a <div="center"> tag within the cell? i.e.
<table border="1" width="100%" height="383">
<tr>
<td width="50%" height="377"><div align="center"><center><table border="1" width="59%">
<tr>
<td width="50%"> </td>
<td width="50%"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</center></div></td>
<td width="50%" height="377"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Massey,

Isn't that exactly what I said? Are you trying to grab points by repeating answers?

MasseyM

Ummm... No. Yours doesn't work :)

YOu only span 383 pixels up and down... My screen is 1600x1200, So it wont't work on mine :)

Also, you don't have the horzontal align correct.... So, check yourself before accusing others...

Later.

the table sizes are completely irrelovent and will be adjusted to the users preference. The answer to his question was with the new table added within the cell.

besides, the key is <div align="center"><center><table> within the <td>. It worked for me on both IE and Netscape

MasseyM

Ok. You may reject my answer if you like... No worries.. I don't need the points.. Just trying to help...

sorry

Massey,
I know you know what you're talking about, and both our answers will work. But being part of EE, you should know to only place comments until asked to repost.
