Thanks elubin. Actually, I had already tried that. I set z-indexes for the parent, the checkbox and the anchor overlaying the checkbox (actually, you can see some remaining, commented out code from when I tried it). Anyway, z-index tweaks didn't appear to fix the problem.
I just now tried setting a background color (to #eee). That caused the overlay element (the anchor) to intercept the mouse clicks which is good. However it hides the underlying checkbox which is bad. I tried making setting the background to transparent but that lets the mouse clicks "leak through". I really hate IE.
