You want a loss-free shrink-wrap effect and that can only be achieved
with floats or table. Since IE6/7 don't support CSS table your options
are somewhat limited.

The following exemplifies the problems with lack of CSS support in
present IE...

...and the "solution" in my test page will keep IE8 and probably also
future IE versions on level with IE5.5 - quirks mode, which is no good.

An HTML table construction would work though.


Note that IE6 has severe problems with image-scaling, if you choose that
option. Too many images or too large files, and IE6 and older may simply
time out and forget image-proportions on slower connections. The result
is ugly.
