well , :)
nowdays , everybody should use a valid doctype on the first place ...
then , clipping might hide content .
The table itself will center anything (horizontal/vertical) no matter the content nor the doctype used .
Nice useless fake trick , i wish that you have learnt from it :)

I'm sorry.. did I miss something here? A table-based layout in a CSS forum?

not really , .... looks like BillGates strikes again !
CSS is not stand-alone , it needs to style somethings , even tables thu ! be kind :) -
Come on, guys... it's not a shame to use Tables sometimes, specially when you have sites that need to "look the same" in ALL browsers, including IE7 and down (yes, tragic but true, there're people that still uses IE 5.5...).
And what about email marketing pieces? because that most of webmail based accounts don't allow CSS techniques, they are based on tables & image slices, and basic HTML tags, like the old days.
