Answer 1

Firstly,

You shouldn't really be using tables for layout (even for forms) you should use divs and CSS: how to make full height cell in full height table in Internet Explorer

Secondly,

valign was deprecated, we now use the css property vertical-align see why not to use valign: http://phrogz.net/css/vertical-align/index.html

CSS:

.className {
   vertical-align: middle;
}
