Login menu bar? graphics coming up funny

[dxlwebs]

Hey all,

im creating a new style and i thought i would try something a bit differant for vbulletin below is my problem!

This is how it looks in FF and how its supposed to look (ps this looks fine and the same when logged out too)


And this is how it looks in IE (this is the problem and looks the same when logged in for some reason it adds the back ground twice)


here is the code
