How to make the element located in the center of a div?

Question

I got some images in a div:

<div>
    <img src="1.png">  </img>
    <img src="1.png">  </img>
</div>

And this in browsers is:

-----------------
|XX             |
-----------------

and I want to these images to be located in the center of the div, that is to say, like this:

-----------------
|      XX       |
-----------------

How to do that?

PS: Maybe this question is just very trivial, but I'm a newbie in CSS/HTML and I just can't overcome.

For images, a simple text-align: center would suffice.

div {
    text-align: center;
}

Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/Wc8kz/

And only one suggestion: img is self-closing tag and should be defined as <img src="..." /> or even <img src="..."> in HTML5. Code <img src="..."></img> is not valid.
