anchors over background-image on IE #25

Closed ianwarn closed 11 years ago

I have absolutely positioned anchors, as child elements of a div with a background image. On IE8, the anchors are always underneath the div - so cannot be clicked, even when explicitly set with z-index.

Can you post a link?

http://aograduate.awaredesign.co.nz/what-we-offer/your-career-path/ Click on the headline 'I’m a law student' to reveal the infographic - compare it to non-IE browsers to see interaction. I can accept that background-position rollovers probably won't work using this method, however as content is shown using the anchor link, it would be great if they were at least clickable.

I get a 404 when I open that page, can you check?

Sorry - in the middle of development. Page has moved to here: http://aograduate.awaredesign.co.nz/what-we-offer/your-route-to-qualification/

Try setting a transparent background image to the links. IE sometimes doesn't recognize clickable areas unless it has a background colour or image.

Perfect! Thanks, Jeffery for your quick and complete fix.
