any help would be appreciated

thanks
 
when I view it in firefox with the overflow:hidden attribute is when the background is off, in IE7 its fine.
 
I don't see the separation in FF4 in the link you provided. Though if you were to make the div taller you would potentially see a gap, because your background won't cover it.

Also if you were to add any sort of padding to it, there might be a separation, because the image is just 100px high, anything more and the picture won't cover it.
