Yes, the reason the line is in there in the first place is to fix some
mouse-events problem in IE5.5.
this fix in turn caused the SSL problem, so was changed to use a real
transparent image.
Now other syntax is being suggested, which should be tested if it,
a) doesn't cause the SSL bug, and
b) fixes IE5.5's mouse-event problems .
The problem is I can't find what exactly these mouse-event bugs were.
