I want to have a transparent background-color and I use gradient filter as a fallback of RGBA in IE. The code is like this:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#bfffffff,endColorstr=#bfffffff);
I also want to trigger an event when the user clicks the background, but it seems like the click event doesn’t get triggered after I set the filter. Everything is ok without the filter.
So is it another IE bug? How can I solve the problem?
This is probably related to the IE bug that makes links with transparent background no longer clickable: I came across it today. I had a link with a transparent background and display set to block: the main area of the link wasn’t clickable, but a 10px border I set on it was. It seems IE also has problems with filters.
This kind of bug is discussed here and here. The first guy’s solution is to give a fake background image to the element before setting the filter. The second guy’s is to give the element a background colour and set the opacity to 1%, which will make it practically invisible in IE. Hopefully you’ll be able to get round it using one of these.
