I am trying to get a page layout like the following Horizontally and vertically center div in the middle of page with header and footer stuck to top and bottom of page
This works great in all browsers except ie6 and ie7.
Can any one help me how to fix this? I am a server side developer and new to front end. I did some searching but could not found the solution.
Thanks for you help in advance.

Centering vertically with CSS can be a pain. Check out Dead Centre. It requires an extra container 'horizon' to know where the vertical center is, and unfortunately you must know the dimensions of the content you want centered so that you can offset it.
Goes something like this...
body {
margin: 0px
}
#horizon {
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 1px;
overflow: visible;
visibility: visible;
display: block
}
#content {
margin-left: -125px;
position: absolute;
top: -35px;
left: 50%;
width: 250px;
height: 70px;
visibility: visible
}<body>
<div id="horizon">
<div id="content">
content you want centered
</div>
</div>
</body>
