As I said to Ed, I think you missed why I included the exact same
image in two divs of different sizes. That was to show it was still
centered no matter what size the container was. It is even easier to
fit it to the browser window.

Even easier than the first example:
(Yeah I know these are trivial and quickly get out of hand on a real
UI)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-
strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
img {
position: absolute;
width:100px;
height: 100px;
margin: auto;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
border: 1px solid red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<img src="image1.jpg" />
</body>
</html>
Anyway, wasn't this supposed to be about Python :)
