help! Fixed width table with an image in it is assuming the imagesintrinsic width

I have struggling with this for 2 days. I searched far and wide in
google and msdn etc. No luck. Hope one of you may have seen this. I am
seeing this in ie6 and ie7

What I want
**************
1. A table with a single cell that is say 100px wide, laid out from
left to right.
2. I want to put an image in it and set its width to 100px as well

What I expect
******************
I see the image that is shrunk in width to 100px wide.

Instead I see
*******************
1. I do see the image shrunk to 100px
2. But I see the width of the "td" increased to 500px which is the
size of the actual image

Here is the source code for it
*************************************
<html>
<head>

<style>
#test {background:blue}
</style>

</head><body>
<p>before the table
<table id="testt"><tr><td id="test" width="100px">
<image width="100%" src="http://hiddenlakegardens.msu.edu/
seasonal_interests/fall/fall1.jpg">
</image>
</td></tr></table>
<p>after the table
</body></html>

Here is the URL you can use to see the blue background of the
stretched "td"

http://www.satyakomatineni.com/akc/d...erUserId=satya

Does anyone know how to be able to say the width of an image to 100%
while restricting its size using a container above such as a "td". I
can fix this by fixing the image width, but then I have to deal with
margins etc.

Your help is much much appreciated.

Your problems are two.

a) No doctype.

Without a doctype, IE is in quirks mode - and its does its own thing.

Add a html strict doctype and fix your html. (Transitional would work
but has other defects).

b) Invalid markup.

You have no closing </p>s, you put a table (a block) within a paragraph,
in in-line context, and then put an invalid <imagetag in the <td>,
There is no such tag a <image- you need <img>.

Fix those and your problems will go away.

Regards
