As I understand it, IE versions prior to version 7 expand a container to hold a larger element that's inside it, instead of allowing the larger element to overflow it. I have had the same problem with a table inside a DIV, so it's not only images that cause this. A common solution is to apply "overflow-x: hidden;" to the container, but that will cut off any overflowing content, which is not always what you want. As far as I know, there is no way to get IE 5 - 6 have the oversize element overflow the container the way it ought. Anyone?
