No way to achieve it in older browsers without JS or height="100%", but

<table style="height:100%; width:100%">
<tr>
<td style="text-align:center">
content
</td>
</tr>
</table>

will likely work nicely for you.

If you decide that it's more important that your page look as you
intend in the greatest numbers of browsers possible than in someone's
validator,

<table width="100%" height="100%"  style="height:100%; width:100%" >
<tr>
<td align="center" style="text-align:center" >
content
</td>
</tr>
</table>

... is probably your best shot.
