To make up for lacking PNG transparency support in IE, I'm using the "filter:" attribute to make a div's background transparent (yep - i'm aware that IE will make all descendents transparent, too...) I'm running into a problem, though - when I apply "filter" (as in filter:alpha(opacity=80);) to a containing div, it no longer lets absolutely placed divs within it to break free of it's box dimensions. the inner div is clipped by the dimensions of the container. Everything appears to work fine if the transparency filter is removed or if the containing div is RELATIVELY positioned, but the two together cause problems. Can someone suggest a hack or workaround that allows transparency AND absolute positioning? I need the containing div to be absolutely positioned. I'm open to alternate ways of applying a transparent background to the containing div.
