Anyone know a crossbrowser way to display a variable object (ie. an image) in the center of the browser screen without using frames?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jack,

If my sense of geometry is still good (and if I'm awake enough , this should work:

var winWidth = ( (document.layers) || (document.getElementById)) ? window.innerWidth : document.body.clientWidth;

var winHeight = ( (document.layers) || (document.getElementById)) ? window.innerHeight : document.body.clientHeight;

var winXCenter = winWidth/2;
var winYCenter = winHeight/2;

var imgWidth = imgObj.width;
var imgHeight = imgObj.height;

var xCenter = winXCenter - (imgWidth/2)
var yCenter = winYCenter - (imgHeight/2)

I was thinking about that one... but didn't know precisely and I was too lazy to check and work it out

thanx!
