Verticl centering can admittedly be a PITA. vertical-align
property is only allowed for elements with
display:table-cell [1] and IE doesn't support table-cell for
anything but TDs.
There are hacks with margins and padding with which you can
avoid tables for alyout, but I still think a nested one-cell
160x170 table is the cleanest / least ugly solution here.


[1] and inline elements, but not in a way you could use here
