    <p>You can actually do this by setting the <code>margin-left</code> and <code>margin-right</code> on the image to <code>-100%</code>.</p> <p><s>Here's a <kbd><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/mathijsflietstra/c2ppS/30/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>jsFiddle</strong></a></kbd> demonstrating this.</s> (use the one below instead, it's better)</p> <p>It is an even better idea to set the <code>margin-left</code> and <code>margin-right</code> on the image to a much larger negative number, e.g. <code>-9999%</code>, as with the <code>-100%</code> value, the image starts to move off-center as soon as the <code>div</code>'s containing element becomes less wide than 3 times the width of the <code>div</code>: </p> <p><code>margin-left: -100% + the div's width: 100% + margin-right: -100% = 3x div width</code></p> <p>You can check the difference in behaviour between this <kbd><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/mathijsflietstra/c2ppS/291/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>jsFiddle</strong></a></kbd> and the previous one by toggling the overflow to visible and resizing the result window to less than <code>300%</code> of the width of the <code>div</code>.</p> <p>Quoting @MaxOriola on the range of supported browsers (from the comments): </p> <blockquote> <p>I've retested second fiddle ... in Firefox, Chrome, Safari (last versions) and Explorer 8, 9, 10.
