The last option mentioned is the one I employed for Backdraft:

width:auto !important;
height:auto !important;
max-width:100% !important;

If you don’t employ the annoying !important, Freeway’s own CSS will override it.

There’s usually ways around that. If you’re trying to override a master page CSS setting, you need to do #whatever, #whatever.f-ms { your style here } to overcome the greater specificity of the compound selector. Then, as long as your override style comes later in the source order, it will have enough “juice” to overcome the Freeway style.

I know that !important is like a Get Out of Jail Free card for web
designers, but it always feels to me like an admission of defeat.

Correct. The reason why I didn’t go that route is because I couldn’t predict what the Backdraft customers would name the element, and there are usually more than one instance of a flexible image per page. There is no excuse for using !important while hand-coding, as you have complete control over the selectors. However, when you are dealing with a program like Freeway, there is sometimes no alternate way to style an element.
