vertical-align for img

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is there anyway to vertically align an image and centre it in a <div>?

My div style is as follows;

div.img {position:absolute; top:110px; left:220px; width:350px; height:300px; background-color:#F0F0F0; align:center; vertical-align:middle}

I just want the image to be placed bang in the middle of the div.

Thanks,
John

@VladdyDec 07.2003 — what kind of image is it?

@jasnjohnauthorDec 07.2003 — OK, the div is 350px across, and 300px high.

The image is just a 72dpi JPEG photo.

Some photos in the div will be landscape and others portrait, so I wanted them to always be smack in the middle of the div.

Cheers,

John

Also, if images would qualify as a presentational element rather than content, it would be easier to put them as element background.

I'll have to settle for use of margins as the images will change frequently as they're part of a gallery.

thanks again..
