IE si mostenirea CSS

Eu nu am inteles ceva corect, sau IE-ul iara se **** cu mintea.Am un div cu background rosu (spre exemplu). In div am un input text caruia ii dau background:inherit. In firefox si opera merge, dar in IE imi da background alb :(a#intro_button{width:140px;height:22px;display:block;background-image:url('images/menu/intro/intro.gif');background-color:white;text-decoration:none;}Cine stie de ce nu arata backgroundul? :(Scuze....da a doua jumatate a intrebarii (cu backgroundul) nu o luati in consideratie :)
