Input boxes with transparent background are not clickable in IE8

Question

I have an absolutely positioned input box in a form. The input box has transparent background:

.form-page input[type=         


        

Answer 1

Please include the html for the input element.

How did you define the input element? The code below works in IE8 (IE 8.0.7600 Windows). I tried this in IE8 and was able to 'select' the input area just fine.
