Interesting dilemma....imag e sizing problem

Considering the code below.

Adapting this part of the code from meyerweb.com to my own use, I was
playing around with some values and came up with an interesting result I
like.
Copy and paste the code and try it out and you'll see what I mean.
The problem is, somehow in the coding, my thumbnails can not be presented as
they are given.
The dimensions of the thumbnails are totally dependent upon the fixed value
of the height in the first line.
I would like to show the thumbnails in their original sizes, but can't seem
to figure it out.
Using the code as is presents problems for showing the thumbnails as they
should be.
Setting a fixed height and width, causes some images to be shown out of
whack.
What can be done to correct this problem?
div#links { width: 166px; height:600px; font: 13pt Arial, Verdana,
sans-serif; }
div#links a {display: block; text-align: left; font: bold 1em Arial,
sans-serif;
padding: 5px 5px; margin: 0 0 1px; border-width: 0;
text-decoration: none; color: #FFC; background: #F44;
}
div#links a:hover {color: #F11; background: #AAA;
border-right: 5px double white;}

div#links a img { height:0px; width:0px; border-width: 0;}
div#links a:hover img { width:100px; height:60px;}

<div id="links">
<a href="#">Bar Red<img src="images/thmb001.jpg"></a>
<a href="#">Cat's Eye Nebulae<img src="images/thmb002.jpg"></a>
<a href="#">Magell anic Cloud<img src="images/thmb003.jpg"></a>
</div>

I'm hoping that someone can explain what's going on; better yet provide a workaround. I'm designing a centered CSS site based on a 550 pixel wide vertical background image. Onto this background I built a two column layout with nested navigation and content divs. The background image is centered via "background: ... center;", the divs are centered over it via "margin: 0 auto 0 auto;". The problem I'm having in IE6 is inconsistent...

Hi, Your opinion please on the following subject: Is it acceptable to set the width and height of an image in ems or percents in CSS? The advantage for me is that images will scale up or down when the user changes the font size in the browser. But what of the disadvantages? In (X)HTML, the img-element will have a pixel-value for the width and height-attributes.
