Hi Richard
How can I:
a. get the content to sit in the middle of the page if the page is
taller than the height of the content
b. get the page to sit at the top with a vertical scroll bar if the
content is taller than the height of the window
I can do it like this:
<table><tr><td valign="middle" align="center">my content</td></tr></
table>
but I can not achieve exactly the same thing using css.
do you have any suggestions in this area?
Thank you.

It looks good for jo average and so we will probably keep it that
way :-)
