CSS formatted textarea fails w/ transparent background

Hi. I have a textarea in an html form, formatted with css. It works fine but when I use a transparent background the viewer can only activate the cursor by clicking the left or upper edge of the textarea (I should specify this only occurs in IE; it works fine in Firefox). Any idea why, and how I can compensate? Thanks.

I think you'd have to detect for IE first and then code the page to display for IE separately. Alternatively, this post shows you how to detect IE (you'll need to do this anyway) and then nudge the user to switch to a standards compliant browser like Firefox. It's kinda cute.
