Here is a great explanation why vertical-align will most probably not do what an innocent mind might suspect: Understanding vertical-align, or "How (Not) To Vertically Center Content"[^]

The site also sports some samples of how to achieve the same e.g.:

XML

<style type="text/css">
    #myoutercontainer { position:relative }
    #myinnercontainer { position:absolute; top:50%; height:10em; margin-top:-5em }
</style>
...
<div id="myoutercontainer">
    <div id="myinnercontainer">
        <p>Hey look! I'm vertically centered!</p>
        <p>How sweet is this?!</p>
    </div>
</div>
