z-index problem in IE with transparent div

Viewed 11626

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?

This is still a bug in IE11, but not Edge. The following solved my problem by creating a background that "looks" transparent but has a color.

background: rgba(255,255,255,0.0);

Slightly better that the filter solution above, if you want only the background to be transparent, but not the contents of the object.
