No one-size-fits-it-all answers, I think. Context ? Browsers ? The already mentioned 'max-width:96%' can help for browsers that support it (although those browsers have less problems with what you describe). For iExploder 6 and lower, a well placed 'overflow-x:hidden' [1] can save the day. It might need a 'width' (layout-trigger) to go width it. [1] best on the most direct parent of the image.
