Are you still achieving the same quality transparency using gif's apposed to using png's? If not I can try helping you further in going down the png path. Glad to help.

I found this behavior not only with links (native HTML or ASP controls) but also with checkboxes and radio buttons as well. I would imagine that the same held true for textboxes as well. I tried the "postion:relative" not only on the offending object but also in the div's above it and the object that had the .png background in it. No luck. Finally ended up taking the atom bomb approach and changed all the .pngs to .gifs (they all had transparency in them) and voila, no more problem. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I can't tell you how much time I wasted trying to diagnose and resolve this problem! This didn’t help resolve my problem but pointed me in the right direction.
