It depends how much control you have over the HTML.
If you have control over the HTML, one simple solution is to write the width
in another attribute of the image - something that is not re-interpreted by
IE 7.
E.g.
img src="example.jpg" width="100" hwidth="100"
and then read the value of hwidth instead of width.
Otherwise, you can get the HTML of whatever contains your IMG tag, and then
use some regular expressions parse out the value of width.
