Kenoli,

You will have to use a 24-bit PNG graphic which will work perfectly in IE7+
and Firefox.  To get IE6 and lower to correctly render the transparent PNG
graphics you are going to have to use some javascript.  I don't think there
is anyway around that.

Because I am already using jQuery for other things, I use:

There is another one that works well and does not use jQuery:

Cheers,
Tim
