The client wants to zoom in to specific parts of the image, or see the whole thing at once > Agreed. If the image is super large you could always tile your images and > use google maps api, the tile overlay ;-) that specific api is out as this is an internal site. I tried throwing a bunch of tiles in instead of a single large image and it's still slow. The whole load only what you need doesnt make sense here as the client will always want to see the whole image. Plus having to create the different zoom levels would be a lot of extra work and not worth it in the end. They are large images, but nothing like maps :) I'll try some different CSS stuff to get IE useable. if not, i have to go to silverlight :(
