The hack that is used to make png images transparent under IE is an ActiveX
filter. As I understand it ActiveX filters in IE are always drawn on the
top layer and IE does not pass mouse events through to anything under them.
For this reason you cannot have links or other events that rely on the mouse
in an area that has hacked png transparency.
