Keep getting blurs as I scroll down

Hello -- I'm working on a page that has quite a few drop down menus as part of
a formail. However, I notice that, when I scroll down on IE, the drop down
menus blur and stay that way until I put the mouse over them. I have this same
problem with Flash images. I'm stuck on what to do. Any advice would truly be
appreciated. My rent depends on it!

PS: the page (very very rough) is at page:

Since I only see it in IE, the first thing I'd do to troubleshoot it would
be to remove the IE only code:

style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorstr='#006
699', endColorstr='#FFFFFF', gradientType='0');"

Hi Gary -- yes, that was exactly the culprit. Thank you!

Still, I'd like to keep the gradient look to the background. Any ideas
(anyone)? Maybe it's the extension that I downloaded that's not quite as good
as it should be.

Thanks again -- Omar

No, the problem is the buggy IE browser and its proprietary extensions
to the HTML and CSS languages. As you have it, only IE users will see
the gradient. If you want a gradient that works x-browser and doesn't
mess up the page, use an image. You could make one a few pixels wide,
probably at least 16, by some number high that is large enough to give
you the effect you want and use CSS to tile it only in the X direction.
Make your page background the same color as the ending color at the
bottom of the gradient so that, if you have a very long page that
exceeds the length of your gradient, it would not repeat in that
direction.
