What I have :
I have a div of width 200px X 200px
and image inside it of size 400px X 400 px.

What I want to do :
I want to show only a part of image inside div Is it possible using only css.If not ? Then what are the other ways
(Note : I don't want to set image to background of the div)

What I have done so far :
Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/5Hbr3/1/ 

<div id="sample">
    <img src="image.jpg" /> 
</div>

I want to show image from 100,100 to 300,300.
and scrollbar should disappear.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Use position: relative on the parent element and position: absolute on the child images.

#sample {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
  border: 1px solid black;
}

#sample img {
  position: absolute;
  top: -100px;
  left: -100px;
}
<div id="sample">

</div>

To make the scrollbar disappear, use overflow: hidden (as in the JSFiddle)

Alfred Xing : if appropriate part of image is shown.I will not need to use overflow : hidden check : jsfiddle.net/5Hbr3/6
@panda That's just to make sure the scrollbars don't show if you have a larger image: jsfiddle.net/5Hbr3/7

Here is a method to tackle your problem:

http://jsfiddle.net/5Hbr3/5/

#sample{
    background: url(image-data.jpg);
    background-position: -100px -100px;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
}

This method allows you to achieve the same result using one element instead of two, and is also cross-browser compatible. I'd recommend this approach instead of absolutely positioning the image inside the container div.

I mentioned in question that I dont want to set image to background of div.
missed that - so Alfred's answer is the way to go in that case
@nagesh What motivated you towards " I don't want to set image to background of the div" attitude? Are there some disadvantages of such approach?
@andi : image tags such as <map> wont work when set as background.
