When using Internet Explorer and right-clicking on an anchor tag, the usual options include:
"Open in New Tab"
"Open in New Window"
"Save Target as.."
However, in IE8, if the anchor tag's content is a div or span with the "display:block" CSS property, these options are not available.
I have been experimenting with various combinations, but I am running out of ideas. For instance:
a.{
border: 1px solid red;
position: absolute;
display: block;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
text-indent: -9999px;
z-index: 1000;
}
While this code attempts to cover the entire area of the anchor tag, the contents remain invisible, appearing as white space.

This issue impacts the 'Also available as' section on the right side of the page, and changing the div to a span with display:block does not resolve it.
