'vertical-align: middle' is only valid for inline elements and (since
CSS2) table cell elements.
Schemes using CSS2 positioning might be possible (and even work in
some browsers), but would need javascript calculations of available
window height.
What's left is not using tables, but giving your DIVs display types
that makes them behave as tables. This in Opera and maybe also in
Mozilla.
