Unhappy Solved: IE PNGs and all that crap.
I know I'm heading into a world of headaches when I choose to use PNGs in webdesign, but what can I say--they're a fantastic format and I get better control over my design with less hassel--at least in Firefox. IE's a different story.

I have my PNG's displaying properly in IE, transperencies aren't the issue. Just go here and you'll see my problem:

All the hyperlinks are quite visibile, but in IE I am completely unable to use them. In fact it appears as if the text is magically hiding behind the background image! (At least in the menu it seems like this, but I can't explain why other links, such as the email address, won't work.)

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or know of what is going on? I'd really love to fix this, because I know there's a way around this, I just can't seem to wrap my brain around it, and my googling today isn't very lucky, it seems.

I can post the source code to the page and the css here if you guy's like, or you can just look at it yourself. The CSS code is here:

Thanks so much, in advance!

Edit: Haha! Found it: http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/ Look in the section that begins "Update 8/5/2005" As it talks about placing "postion:relative" where ever there is an link style in your CSS! Nice! (I suppose this might be helpful to others. If only I could be smart enough to always remember this now...)
