Hello Neerav, I faced this same problem while developing a site last week. There are some other solutions available. This IE bug (CSS link background images flicker on mouseover) is pretty well documented, and there are some solutions available, both within your stylesheets and with your server. Check out: http://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2004/04/08/ie_vs_image_/index.php and http://www.fivesevensix.com/studies/ie6flicker/ I found that the best fixes were to use the sprite technique for rollovers and to set a duplicate bg image behind the image link. In some cases, I used the "image map" technique described here as a workaround: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/imagemap/ A tip for debugging - mouse over the image while scrolling up/down with your mouse wheel. That really set off the flicker on my browser.
