No, of course not... divs are not tables. By default, the img should
overflow the div, and should be visible outside of the boundaries of
the div. If you apply
overflow:hidden;
to the div, then only the parts of the img inside the div will show.

Why not just set the width and height of the image to be the same as
the div in the CSS? Then again, since this is already a visual driven
output, why not just use img's by themselves? You could do:
img {
display:block;
width:Xpx;
height:Xpx;
...
}

No, and for good reason!
