How to center the contents of a div [duplicate]

Question

I have a very simple problem, but I can't seem to solve it. I have a table inside a div, which is the main element. Now I have a td tag inside the table with a width and hight set to that of an iphone screen size. Now I basically want to center that table with its td cell within the div tag, so that the 'screen' will be centered in any browser window. How do I do that?

Replacing that div with a table solved my problem, but I would like to use a div instead.

Thank You

Try this one , I do this code - Demo here, Very easy and simple code ( I have used a hack code and extra span tag for only IE old version) http://jsfiddle.net/ERuX4/1/

<div class="demo wraptocenter">
   <span></span>
   <img src="http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/images/twitter.png?1295473781" alt="" />
</div> 

css

.wraptocenter * {
    vertical-align: middle;
}
.wraptocenter span {
    display: inline-block;
    height: 100%;
    width: 1px;
}
.wraptocenter {
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

/*End wraptocenter - image Vcenter  patch styles*/    
.demo  {
         width:100px;
         height:100px;
         border:1px solid red;
         position:absolute;
         top:50%;
         left:50%;
         margin-top:-100px;
         margin-left:-100px;}
