vertical center an image without knowing dimensions

Question

I have centered a lot of stuff in my webdevelopment career, but I was wondering if there is a simple way to centering an image vertically without knowing the image\'s dimens

Answer 1

You could use this CSS on your parent:

#parent {
    display:table-cell;
    vertical-align:middle;
}

Note that this will make the parent element behave like an inline element.

Example.
