[RESOLVED] Links Not Working…Why?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 23.2008

Hello.

Can anyone tell me why the links are working for the home page in IE and not Mozilla/Firefox?

They are coded the same ….and oddly (?), some of the links in Firefox/Mozilla have the [B]same syntax and they work[/B] – but you can’t see that because the home page links don’t work to access the other pages.

Also, can anyone tell me why on some pages I have so much space to scroll underneath the page and on others I don’t? I don’t want the scroll to appear unless it has to.

@Jeff_MottJan 23.2008 — If you use CSS to draw a border around your #firstimg DIV to see exactly where it is, then you'd see that it lays on top of the entire navigation menu, and that's what's causing the problem. The #secondimg DIV is also layered partially on top of the nav menu.

@banksworld1986authorJan 24.2008 — Okay.

I saw that. I then set the images to a specific width and height and the border ( I guess by default ) was then set to the width and height of the image.

But when I did this the border and the image were displaced. I kept the position relative and left and top properties set to 0 - and the image and the border were separate...?.. The border lined up at position 0,0, but the image was 'some' pixels to the right. Any reason for this?

Any reason for this?[/quote] You know, -every time you do a "[B]position:relative;[/B]" with a '[U]negative[/U]' [B]margin-top:foo; [/B]you still leave an invisible 'footprint' of the actual spacial dimensions of the positioned element in the natural document flow...#firstimg {

[B]position: relative;[/B]

left: 56px;

[B]top: -203px;[/B]

}

#secondimg {

[B]position: relative;[/B]

left: 534px;

[B]top: -272px;[/B]

}

#thirdimg {

[B]position: relative; [/B]

left: 446px;

[B]top: -276px;[/B]

}

#fourthimg {

[B]position: relative; [/B]

left: 534px;

[B]top: -345px;[/B]

}[/QUOTE]and eventually, you will end up with real-estate that is white-space and un-populatable.

"position:relative;" does not actually 'move' an element into a desired position, it merely moves the displayed offset, leaving a, well, 'footprint'...

I also see some elements (DIVs, IMGs) that have, apparently, some problems with their width, thus, creating a horizontal scrollbar on the browser. I outlined their dimensions to show their boundries: see Screenshot image.

Aaaaahh....

so it's really best to use the float property.. especially when I have many images that appear within the flow of the document because using top:-px will only create an unnecessary scroll...right?

If the images are required to be aligned to the right, yeah, a "float:right;" would do it so long as you 'clear' the previous float before doing it again, otherwise, the objects/elements/images will form a right-to-left lineup...

If you have trouble with this, I can possibly go through and get it wrangled. I need to be a couple more cups of coffee into myself before I do anything today... ?
