Centering Text in CSS.

What's the appropriate way to vertically center a line of text inside a css <div>

I realize that <center></center> doesn't validate.

Thanks

I believe its: text-align: center;

He said to vertically center text...

Say you have a div that is 500px high. This is how you would get the text in the center (horizontally and vertically).

CSS:

div.500 {
height: 500px;
width: 500px;
}

p.centered {
text-align: center;
line-height: 500px;
}


HTML:

<div class="500">
<p class="centered">Centered text.</p>
</div>

How to vertically align something? I wonder if this has been asked before...
