I have two anchors positioned absolute on top of an image, the links are clickable in other browsers (Chrome, FF, Safari) but not in IE (tested in 8 & 9 so far) The strange thing is if I give the links a background-color they are clickable, however if the background-color is set to transparent (which is what I want) they are no longer clickable, I've also tried setting zoom:1 but no luck. I guess
