NS4 tends to really screw up inheritance of CSS calls. Unusual
background inheritance is a really good example of the general problem.
All you need to do is set an explicit background for the inner SPAN. I
just did a test where I set the background color to #637fbe, which seems
to be the center color of your background image. The result worked
reasonably well in NS4. You will have to play with padding though to get
a decent result in all browsers. You may also want to put a Strict
DOCTYPE on the page to minimize box-model differences.
