absolute positioned anchor tag (with no text) not clickable in IE

Question

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)

Answer 1

I had the same problem. My working solution was to add a border to the appropriate anchor. Like the following example. One advantage is, you need no extra image.

a { border-right: 1px solid transparent }
