Internet explorer does not handle high bit-level (32 bits?) transparencies.
This affects alpha blending rather badly. The solution is often to embed the
object in background with the same colour as that which IE renders the
transparency part. The other solution is to persuade everybody to upgrade to
good Web browser, thereby allowing the IE deficiency take it toll rather
than be worked around. The issue should have been addressed in the
development of IE7.
