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

I've found the same issue using IE10 on Windows 7. Both of the following methods fixed the issue for me.

Franky's method using a transparent background image...

background:url(/images/transparent.gif);

Sketchfemme's method using an rgba background colour with '0' opacity

background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);

Jim Jeffers suggestion for editing the z-index's did not work for me.
