Bug 8264 - local cover images not working in IE8 [ prog ]

[Patch submitted by David Cook]
Edmund, rather than myself, was the author of this patch,
so I'm not entirely sure about his code choices, but...it
looks like IE must process images differently than other
browsers.

It seems to me that the images are not appearing in IE,
because they're being regarded as incomplete or having
0/NULL natural width.

This patch simply introduces a try/catch hack where it
tries to add the image and remove any "no-image" elements
even nwhen the image is considered incomplete/width of
0/NULL. It won't do this if it catches any errors,
although I'm not sure that any errors would be caught
with this set up anyway...

It's certainly not the ideal solution, but it's a solution.

To Test:

Before applying the patch:
1) Use IE and FF/Chrome/other browser to view a record
   with local images attached
2) Note that the local images appear in FF/Chrome/other,
   but not in IE

Apply patch.

After applying the patch:
1) Repeat step 1 from above
2) Note that the local images now appear in all browsers
   as they should.

As I mentioned before, this seems like a real suboptimal
solution. Any ideas on why IE might be considering local
images to be incomplete or having 0/NULL natural width?

I did a regression test using Chromium and Firefox in
Ubuntu. I checked both prog and CCSR - covers displayed
nicely.
All tests and QA script pass.
