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

Had the similar issue -> IE8 textbox was not editable (when wrapper of my App has position:absolute). Click worked only in the border. Filled with color and transparent also did not work. With the following doctype change the issue is fixed.
