MSDN says that AlphaImageLoader places image *between* foreground and
background, but it also seems that IE has troubles with z-index for it
- this is the possible reason why links die. I'm not a design profi,
and as developer I hate opacity in any shall perform form as a king's
level headache source :-)

When I still have to use it (because some clients are extasy about it),
I simply use one div with image, and one transparent div with content
atop of it (but not nested!). Maybe not politically correct, but brings
some more sense into picture. But this is for real photos. For gradient
fills (like seems in your case) I let anyone to go to hell by his own
road: Opera / FF are getting trans-png, IE is getting gradient fill
filter and alpha filter. This way everyone is happy in his own way
including customers (only W3C CSS validator gets upset, but it's not me
who sets the rules for this world :-)
