You can see a different rendering of the inner part of the rounded HTML box (with graphic effects)
But when I render this on netrender, or browsershots its OK.
Can anyone check on IE to see what the problem might be. The client (he’s on IE7) insists the problem is not just with him (and his whole office network) as the same issue has shown on his client PC’s.

Yep I’ve check on Netrenderer and Browsershots (the client has also) and its OK but still insists the issue is still on “all their machines” and is worried. As he’s seen this on his client machines also :-§
Looks like every central image on each HTML box (with rounded corners) is not rendering correctly. So I can discount a single rogue image being at fault.
I’ve checked on both IE6 and IE7 and both appear OK.

Its getting weird, tried updating site in case the client’s cache was causing the issue, by re-naming changed div names to make sure all file names are changed, and still the issue persists on the clients browser IE Version 7.0.6001.18000.
It’s looking like a specific broken version of IE is causing this issue.
Is it possible to apply a style of a white background to the middle box of a HTML boxes with rounded corners? To force the middle pane to display a background white or colour?
Maybe they need to run some updates? Also, are they using the default
settings? It seems strange that it’s fine for everyone else but not
them. Can you upload the site to another server to see if that makes a
difference? Perhaps they or their hosts are using a proxy or something?

The box corners are png’s and we have some slide down boxes so can’t

I think the way forward is to edit the inline style…

with colour.
I think the only way is source code snooper on this one as its
created with a graphic effect to the HTML box as I can target it
elsewhere.
Tried uploading to a different site, but it looks like its a combination of browser and operating system as using a different PC in his offices and it worked, whares the machines with his combination have the issue. So the only workaround to keep him happy (he thinks if he can’t see it then others have the same issue) is to manually edit the inline styles in the code (this does fix it).
The clients IE7 browser/machine now can’t process the scriptaculous dropdowns in the site quick enough they delay and just appear. (yet seem fine on all the machines I’ve checked it on even and old windows 2000 with IE6 running).
How do you convince a client he can’t see the bright colours the world has to offer because he insists on wearing a broken pair of (IE) dark sun glasses.
Looks like a problem wit the Action, I’ll log a bug. Can you use Blind
Down instead od Slide Down until we get a fix please. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

The drop downs slide on page load, but not if clicked on (the bottom
one), it just appears after a delay and does not slide down
Then I would posit there’s something else happening here.
Scriptaculous is a product of Test Driven Development (that’s a
methodology, not a company), and has a worldwide development community
that uses automated testing techniques at each step of the process.
IE7 is well and truly coddled at every turn. If the IE-specific stuff
were stripped out of Prototype and Scriptaculous, they would be
considerably (say 1/3) smaller.
Try validating your page, and fix any issues that are reported. One of
the sensitivities of anything based on Prototype.js (like
Scriptaculous) is that it requires you to start from a known-good
base. Freeway won’t write invalid code, but Freeway plus a few random
Actions certainly could.
