The following code displays correctly in Chrome or IE (the image is 200px wide). In Firefox and Opera the max-width style is ignored completely. Why does this happen and is there a good work around? Also, which way is most standards compliant?
Note
One possible work around for this particular situation is to set max-width to 200px. However, this is a rather contrived example. I'm looking for a strategy for a variable width container.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
div { display: table-cell; padding: 15px; width: 200px; }
div img { max-width: 100%; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3352/4644534211_b9c887b979.jpg" />

[Update]
As stated by mVChr below, the w3.org spec states that max-width does not apply to inline elements. I've tried using div img { max-width: 100%; display: block; }, but it does not seem to correct the issue.
