AFAIK, the background scrolling problem can be solved either in Firefox and friends, OR Internet Exploder; but not make everyone happy at once.

I would normally have said to style the input directly, but now that I think of it that div example doesn't sound too bad and should take care of your background image scrolling problem.

In that case you'd set a div as position:relative, and put the input inside it with proper padding and width (or 100% width if padding is 0), background transparent, and put an image on the div.
