[jQuery] hyperlinks don't work with blockui in IE
In the application I am developing I am creating a list of items, each
of which have a hyperlink associated. This hyperlink links through to
a shopping backet so you can purchase the item when the link is
clicked.
I list the items that have been selectd in a list and to prevent the
underlying page working I use BlockUI. The code was developed before
I had access to the blockUI plugin so it works by generating a div,
putting the content in there, invoking BlockUI with an empty string
($.blockUI (' ')) and then displaying the div over the top with a
high zIndex.
This works well in all the test browsers, with the exception of IE.
For some reason the hyperlinks in the div I'm displaying over the top
of the blockUI div don't work. I know the div is appearing over the
top of the blockUI div because it isn't darkened or obscured by it.
