CSS only lightbox solution

I am working on a CSS only lightbox solution for my project. I've googled it but so far found only partial solutions.

I am looking for these features:

So far I have this:

.lb-overlay {
    text-align: center;
    background: #c0c0c0;
    background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
    border: #a0a0a0 solid 1px;
    position: fixed;
    left: 0;
    top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;
    z-index: 10000;
}

.lb-overlay:after {
    content: '';
    display: inline-block;
    height: 100%;
    width: 0;
    vertical-align: middle;
    background-color: #f00;
}

.lb-wrap {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    position: relative;
    background: #ffffff;
    max-height: 90%;
    max-width: 90%;
    z-index: 10001;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
    box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
}

.lb-content {
    position: relative;
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 2em;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

.lb-close {
    position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0;
    background-color: #d00000;
    margin: 0;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 4px;
    line-height: 1em;
    width: 2em;
    height: 2em;
    border: 0;
    outline: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
.lb-close:hover { background-color: #f00000; }

problems:

Ideally, I am looking for compatibility with modern browsers and IE8+, but I can live with IE9+

Can you guys help?

  1. Get rid of the unnecessary sizing models
  2. Full-size the overlay as width: 100%; height: 100%;
  3. Use margin: auto and position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; to center align the wrap within the overlay both vertically and horizontally
  4. Use width and height instead of max-width and max-height
  5. Use padding on wrap to control the border around the content
  6. Use overflow: auto; width: 100%; height: 100%; in content

Summed up: http://jsfiddle.net/F4D5u/8/

Complete style code:

.lb-overlay {
    background: #c0c0c0;
    background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
    position: fixed;
    left: 0; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0;
    z-index: 10000;
    margin: 0;
    width: 100%; height: 100%;
}

.lb-wrap {
    margin: auto;
    position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0;
    background: #ffffff;
    width: 70%; height: 70%;
    padding : 2em;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
    box-shadow: 0 0 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
}

.lb-content {
    overflow: auto;
    width: 100%; height: 100%;
}

.lb-close {
    position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 0px;
    background-color: #d00000;
    margin: 0;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 4px;
    line-height: 1em;
    width: 2em;
    height: 2em;
    border: 0;
    outline: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
}
.lb-close:hover { background-color: #f00000; }
