1. Clean up you errors. Your page doesn't validate. Fix this and it's 
possible that your problem will be solved. Even if this doesn't solve 
the problem, it'll make it easier to find.

2. Don't use inline styles. Having all the styles in one place makes 
them easier to work with and reduces page weight.

3. The text goes in the p, not the image. OK, this has nothing to do 
with the problem, but it will improve the page semantically, and may 
help with the search engines. Think about, what, after all, is a 
paragraph? Yes, I know, as you said, a picture's worth a thousand word, 
but that doesn't mean it *IS* a thousand words.

Won't help; IE doesn't understand generated content. Besides, that fix 
is for non-IE browsers and the problem is in IE.
