In IE8 block elements with a set width/height will display properly but mouse events

  • 0

In IE8 block elements with a set width/height will display properly but mouse events and linking only work for text inside of that element. A mouseover will not be detected until the text inside of the element is hovered. If it’s a link only the text will be clickable. If I remove the doctype (sending it into quirks mode) it works fine but breaks a lot of the styling on the site. Is there any way I can get this to work properly?

    This was caused by the presence of a noscript tag in the page. Removing it fixed the issue. I have no idea why that would be the case but perhaps someone else can elaborate.
