Here is a div with some links back to SearchLawrence.com
on top of this div a transparent PNG has been placed using
absolute positioning over the top. You can click on links
through the transparent parts of the PNG. This method
requires using CSS conditional statements for IE. Should
be cross browser compatable (tested with IE, Firefox and Chrome).

The behavior is slightly differnt for IE, only areas where
there is transparency in the image can be "clicked through"
however in other browsers, the "pointer-events:none;" passes
clicks regardless of image/div content.
This DIV is overlayed on top of the yellow DIV and has a transparent png loaded into it.
