[thelist] What css browser bug needs "background: transparent"?

[Elly]

Thanks for responding, all. I'm familiar with this usability concept 
from way back, and I guess this is the main reason I see this regularly 
used. I was thrown off by the w3c validator not having this warning. 
I've just updated a pile of style sheets!

I'm still curious about these N4 (Windows) browser bugs shown at the 
Pointers Group bugs section http://www.css.nu/pointers/bugs-nn.html 
that seem to give more reasons to use background: transparent, but is a 
moot point if coding for the usability issue above. I still test N4 
Mac, which doesn't show this.
