Anything else would add to the bloat of proposed properties, and make it that much more difficult to teach and work with CSS. Perhaps the method currently available is preferable. It probably will not suffer /as/ long of a wait for mainstream implementation as a new property or property change would. Perhaps if margin-top: auto; margin-bottom: auto required an explicitly stated height or min-height, as without one there would be no need for vertical centering (because the content would fill the parent box). -- Ryan Cannon Instructional Technology Web Design http://RyanCannon.com
