position:absolute, links not showing and filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader in IE6
Posted by Dan Eastwell
Links don’t work in transparent elements in IE6 using the filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader method, when the container the filter is applied to is absolutely positioned.
One (extra) hack to get round this is to change the sizingMethod to crop and then make sure that the links are only going to be over an area that is transparent.
The only other hack is to move the filter up onto the link container, as per here:

or serve IE a flat background, as it’s all it can robustly cope with…
