I have a div called "images" which has a width of 277px. Within that div I have 9 images in it, just stored as tags. I've got the images to float left and line up quite nicely within my div, but I would like the images to align vertically, as some are portrait and others are landscape. I know I can do this if I enclose each image in a div, but the plugin I use to launch the gallery won't recognise which image is being fired, so i need to enclose them as just within the tags.

This is the code I have, if someone can help me just align the images horizontally and vertically. I don't want the images to be skewed.

#images_box a
{
float:left;
padding:9px;
width: 70px;
height: 70px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
display: table-cell;
}
