I need a simple image gallery so I decided to build it entirly on CSS, and tried to find something appropriate in the net.I found something very close to what I want, here are the applied CSS styles:

<html>
<head>
<title>Gallery</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 0;
    width: 500px;
    color: #000000;
    font: normal 80%/120% Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
a
{
    color: #000000;
}

.gallery {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
.gallery li {
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 0;
    float: left;
    position: relative;
    width: 120px;
    height: 100px;
}
.gallery img {
    background: #fff;
    border: solid 1px #ccc;
    padding: 4px;
    width: 110;
    height: 90;
}
.gallery span {
    width: 77px;
    height: 27px;
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    top: -12px;
    left: 50px;
    background: url(images/tape.png) no-repeat;
}
.gallery a:hover img {border: 1px solid #0000ff; width:400; height:300; overflow: auto}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<ul class="gallery">
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/8.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/9.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/4.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/7.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/5.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/6.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/3.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/1.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
    <li><a href="#"><span></span><img src="image/2.jpg" alt="image" /></a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

In fact I don’t even know why i need .gallery span{} (maybe some tips here) But the main problem is this:
Pic1:

This is how my gallery looks and I want it to look just like that, but when i a:hover and enlarge the image here’s what happen

Pic2:

enter image description here

and to make it clear one more picture

Pic3:

What I need, and want to accomplish is all enlarged images to appear like this:

Pic4:

Thanks

    Add position: relative; to your body style, remove position: relative; from .gallery li, and add position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; to .gallery a:hover img.

    Your final CSS being:

        <style type="text/css">
    body {
        margin: 0 auto;
        padding: 0;
        width: 500px;
        color: #000000;
        font: normal 80%/120% Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
        position: relative;
    }
    a
    {
        color: #000000;
    }

    .gallery {
        list-style: none;
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
    }
    .gallery li {
        margin: 10px;
        padding: 0;
        float: left;
        width: 120px;
        height: 100px;
    }
    .gallery img {
        background: #fff;
        border: solid 1px #ccc;
        padding: 4px;
        width: 110;
        height: 90;
    }
    .gallery span {
        width: 77px;
        height: 27px;
        display: block;
        position: absolute;
        top: -12px;
        left: 50px;
        background: url(images/tape.png) no-repeat;
    }
    .gallery a:hover img {border: 1px solid #0000ff; width:400; height:300; overflow: auto; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0;}
    </style>
