Centre image within DIV

Wondering if any of you have an idea for this problem. I've got a fixed width
div. Inside that div I need to display variable sized images. At the moment I'm
using background-position:50% 50%; This displays the image as I need centred
within the div. What I was wondering is whether you've found a way to do this
as a normal image rather than a background image. The reason I would like to
do this is for SEO reasons, I'm missing out on having lots of images, with
links and alt tags. Any Input would be appreciated. Ross

Why not center the div instead of the image?

Hi,

I think you should insert <div> inside your main <div> with special id.

I made it to position images and links inside a <div>. It is cool:
you can move each small division like you want.

Thanks for your input so far. I think i'll explain this one a little better.
I've put the dilemma at this web address......

the second method to look identical to the first. Hopefully this explains the
problem a little better. Thanks Ross

I see what you're trying to do there.

A down/dirty solution would be to leave the cropped image as the background,
and use a transparent gif in your image tag with a width/height set to the
outer div's values and then use it's alt tag for information about the image
beneath it as well as make it a link to the larger image.

Nice idea, does anyone know whether search engines will frown upon this practice?

Ross

They shouldn't.
