I've also been wondering about this. I've been giving my images a wrapper div and then setting the width of the wrapper to either a max-width or a percentage. I declare the width of the actual image to 100% so it will always fill the wrapper. Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but it seems to work.

Also, in Photoshop I create the images at about twice the size needed for screen and then save them as optimized jpgs.
