Linked PNG not clickable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If I use a transparent png in IE6 in a menu and set a link on it, it is 
not clickable in IE6 (only).

i have found the same issue.  whether it is on another layer, such as a 
container div
that uses a .png file, any links that are on top, are not clickable.  any fixes 
yet?

I also experience this issue. Any anchor that has a transparent png (or is 
positioned
above an element with such a background) isn't clickable in IE6 unless the area 
the
mouse is pointing is 100% transparent.

Are you shure you gave the DIV with the backgroun (or the element with the 
background) a position:relative rule?
for me that works a charm

I'm having the same problem, rendering all the links on my page unclickable. 
Since my
entire container have transparent png backgrounds...

Just found a fix: You can apply position:relative to all anchors.  Then use 
zoom:1 to
high layer elements so that the links don't show up on top of the floating 
element.

If the absolute parent div is position absolute, the hack above doesn't seem to 
work.
 I think this bug is pretty severe.

I'm using the script for the first time and I got the same issue in IE6. Is 
there any
way to fix this?

Adding "position: relative;" to the links fixed the problem. So for example if 
you
have div#container { background-image: url('bg-trans.png'); } and inside this 
div you
have links, you do the following: div#container a { position: relative; }

This was tested on IE6 with relatively complex layout, with links being in 
unordered
list and links containing images.

I think I've fixed this now. It will be in the next release.

This is still not working correctly in all cases it seems dean. I have form 
elements that aren't clickable while ie9.js is loaded.

Bah! Really? Do you have a test page perhaps?

Hi Dean,

Try this demo http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/jimmy_shaker/west_coast/wc_fish_list.php

This first item works fine, the other dont as they dont have a span with the 
css set to display block, you can see this if you hover on the empty space to 
the right of the text.

I am using a trans png to get around the double background issue I have already 
mentioned (issue 250)

Thanks

Richard

This will happen in many cases where AlphaImageLoader is used as the 
transparent PNG support method, which is known to be extremely slow and buggy.

The only reliable script I've ever found to support alpha PNGs is Drew Diller's 
DD_belatedPNG, which uses VML to correctly render PNG and support many more CSS 
background properties.  Any chance Drew's work will make it into the library?
