Background-size workaround for lte IE8?

Question

I just realised that IE7/8 don't support the background-size property.

It's very common for me to use:

.image{
    background-size:100% auto; /* in case browser doesn't support the :cover value. */
    background-size: cover;
}

But what's the way to go when IE 7 or 8?

-EDIT-

I Would like to apply it to multiple images.. something like:

<ul>
 <li class="image" style="background-image:url('path/to/img1');"></li>
 <li class="image" style="background-image:url('path/to/img2');"></li>
 <li class="image" style="background-image:url('path/to/img3');"></li>
 <li class="image" style="background-image:url('path/to/img4');"></li>
</ul>

But most of them use an image to achieve it... i want to apply size to a background image – Toni Michel Caubet Jun 21 '13 at 12:11
no... i need to apply it to a list of images... that's why the fixed solution won't apply... – Toni Michel Caubet Jun 21 '13 at 14:32
