Hi,

I use a <div class="imgbox"> to display thumbnails in a square box. 
These thumbnails are of various sizes and aspect ratios 
(auto-generated by a CMS), but they all exceed the dimensions of the 
box. Here's the css:

div.imagebox  {
        text-align: center;
        vertical-align: middle;
        width: 80px;
        height: 80px;
        overflow: hidden }


I want to position them so that their center-portion is displayed, 
but since they're bigger not even  text-align: center  has any 
effect. All I see is the upper left corner of the images.

Now all the resources I've found so far deal with the case of the 
surrounding div being *larger* than the images. But I got some hints 
that might be useful like setting the div's position to relative and 
using absolute positioning for the images.

The problem with that is however that I can't use fixed values as the 
size/orientation of the thumbnails varies.

Can this be done? Any help would be very much appreciated!


Cheers   Martin
