you can find a better solution with pngbehavior.htc: 

http://www.pi-phi.de/55.html (in german, but the code is 
international ;-) )

3.Ansatz 
you need the first codeblock in your CSS-file 
and the second one in the referenced file (in your TYPO3-root dir)
furthermore you need a transparent gif-file ('clear.gif', 1x1 pixel) in 
the same dir.
