If you want IE7 amd IE8, look into virtualbox. Microsoft gives away FREE
vhd harddrives online with XP+IE6, XP+IE7, XP+IE8, VISTA+IE7 and VISTA+IE8.
Of course, they only last a few months at a time, but they're free for web
developer testing. {Sets up on Ubuntu real nice}
Anyway... I've been known to use some trickery in getting Images to size
correctly on all browsers. I use server-side image resizing to take a
maxWidth and maxHeight {via url, mod rewrite and an image sizing library
from http://shiftingpixel.com/2008/03/03/smart-image-resizer/}, shrink or
grow the image to the first max value, spit it into the browser at
opacity=0.01, measure it to determine the supplied aspect ration, and adjust
the maxW/H size values so I can define absolute sizes on scaled objects
without trying to trick each rendering engine to NOT pixelate the %...@# out
of my images. Basically, the W/H are just doubles between 0 and 1, and the
ratio adjustment makes one or the other a little closer to zero by
multiplying by ((double)actualW/actualH). It gets sized on screen by
multiplying the 0->1 coords by current screen width or height.
Since I doubt you really want to take the time tweaking the image resizer
from shiftingpixel, implmenting my scary graphics threads, or my xml->js
JSOs, I recommend using the "make image object, set opacity to 0.01, add to
document, Deferred Wait, set Src, poll for images to have size, measure
actual size, adjust ui, delete original image element {store info in a
widget or static list}."
