I have an absolutely positioned input box in a form. The input box has transparent background:
.form-page input[type="text"] {
border: none;
background-color: transparent;
/* Other stuff: font-weight, font-size */
}
Surprisingly, I cannot select this input box by clicking on it in IE8. It works perfectly in Firefox however. The same happens for background: none. When I change the background color:
background-color: red;
It works fine, so this is issue associated with transparent background. Setting a border makes the input box selectable by clicking on its border only.
Is there a workaround to have clickable input box with transparent background working in IE8?
Update: Example. Uncomment background-color and the inputbox is selectable. You can also click on the select box, and focus the input box by pressing Shift+Tab.

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...
Sketchfemme's method using an rgba background colour with '0' opacity
Jim Jeffers suggestion for editing the z-index's did not work for me.
