Re: thoughts on non-compliant browsers

Just a stab in the dark here considering I haven't seen your page, but 
would the following suggestion work for you? Please excuse the crudity 
of my example but it does demonstrate the principle. (tabBG.gif is 
attached).

<html><head>

<style>
li { position: relative; float: left; padding: 1em 1em 0.1em 1em; 
list-style-type: none;}
li img { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width:100%; height:100%; }
li .text { position: relative; z-index: 10;  }
</style>
</head><body>

<ul>
<li><span class="text">A Menu Item</span>
<img src="tabBG.gif"/>
</li>
<li><span class="text">More</span>
<img src="tabBG.gif"/>
</li>
<li><span class="text">Something Else</span>
<img src="tabBG.gif"/>
</li>
</ul>

</body></html>
