Actually, my test case has to show a solution for links not working at all when placed above a transparent background under certain conditions so far. There is an explanation of the why and hows of this test a bit down on my page [1]. The reason for the links being patched on top of the transparent image is to show that some parts of the links are clickable, others don't, depending on the current transparency of the pixel in the image /under/ the link, which might indicate that there is something wrong with the mouse event handling in this poor filter concept. I haven't looked at your test case thoroughly yet, but I cannot see the basic difference in applying the filter to an additional inner wrapper of the absolutely positioned element as my test shows it and the problem you are encountering. In [1], I have noted that any element which shall take this filter burden must have "layout", and I have linked to [2]. Currently, your list entries do not have "layout", therefore, you cannot apply a filter to them at all until you are triggering this. But this would cause more troubles, as lists do show more bugs as usual in IE when the li gets layout, we mentioned that in that article too. Some will say filters, being a MS proprietary, buggy and abandoned concept, are not within the range of CSS as the specification defines it, and therefore, the issue is slightly off topic, I fear. A "degradation without grace" would be appropriate for IE6, I think. Good luck.
