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

 background-image:url(about:blank);background-color:transparent;

Answer 2

Actually in my case it was like

text-indent: -9999px 

I used to remove the text, do not do that and it is clickable again.
