Padding top/bottom (like margin top/bottom) is calculated according to the width of parent element.As the .image div has the same width as its parent, setting padding-bottom:100%; give it the same height as its width so it is square (its content needs to be absolutely positioned or floated so it doesn't change the parent's size).
