z-index problem in IE with transparent div

Preli picture Preli · Jun 25, 2011 · Viewed 11.5k times · Source

I have a transparent div-element with a higher z-index than an img-element on the same page. But Internet Explorer is acting as if the img-element would have a higher z-value when it comes to click events.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Demo</title>
</head>
<body style="margin:0;padding:0;">
    <img src="7player.png" alt="7player" width="60" height="60" style="position:absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; z-index:10" />
    <div style="width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;z-index:900;" onclick="alert('hello');"></div>
</body>
</html>

When clicking on the image nothing happens altough the click event of the div-element should be fired (works in Chrome for example).

Is there any workaround or fix for my problem?

In fact, your div "Doesn't have any background",

You need to give it a color background (e.g. white) with opacity=0.01.

For example:

 background:white; filter:alpha(opacity=1);
