Avoiding images is not such a bad thing, though I wouldn't say to do it at all costs! My solution will cover the background of any div, regardless of height or width, whereas you need to know the height that you want, so it all depends on what you need from your solution. Ah!

Think of the client who doesn't have Fireworks or Photoshop. Simple HTML/CSS, that's the answer, it's fast, lighter and easier to change. Ah, avoid images when you can use straight CSS!

All you need is a transparent .png for modern browsers, including IE7, and the filter property (in which child elements <em>can</em> be set back to full opacity, unlike in CSS opacity).

IE also turns off anti-aliasing with text in a container with the filter property. The best bet is to use a semi-transparent PNG for the background. Yes, it doesn't work in IE6, but I've dropped support for that browser. Time to move forward. I ran into this with my new design.
