Overlapping DIVs killing links

Hi Folks,
on <a href="http://donbrice.com/new/page.php?section=schools">this
page</a> and for all the sections I can't get Safari(2.02) or
Firefox-PC(1.5) or the latest vers. of Opera-Mac to recognise that the
navigation links (menucol) if the div behind it (container-page)
overlaps.

As far as I've tested it renders as desired in IEmac, FfoxMac1.0.6,
NNmac7.2, and IE6-PC.

I'm assuming there is something wacky in my css as it's causing issues
with the more compliant browsers.

If anyone know a way to fix this problem (I've tried z-index) that'd be
great!
Thanks
Michelle

These are my layout divs

#menucol {
list-style-type: none;
width: 150px;
height: 100%;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
font-size: 150%;
float: left;
max-height:100%;
z-index: 500;
}

#container-page {
width: 100%;
float: left;
margin-right: -500px;
margin-left: -320px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 36px
z-index: 10;
}
#text-page {
margin-left: 340px;
margin-right: 260px;
}
#squares {
width: 400px;
float: right;
text-align; right;
padding-top: 30px;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 50px;

}

and this is the layouts structure (it's basically a 3 col. layout)

<body>
<h1>heading</h1>
<div id="menucol">
<div id="menu1><ul>listed items</ul>
</div>
<div id="menu1><ul>listed items</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="container-page">
<div id="text-page">
<div class="box" id="dblogoMacIE5">logo for IE mac
</div>
<h2>heading</h2>
Large Image
<p>description </p>
</div>
</div>

<div id="squares">
small photos
</div>
<div class="box" id="dblogonotMacIE5">logo for other browsers</div>
</body>

Is there a test URL?

Yes there was at the top but the link didn't come through in the
web-based version... I ended up getting rid of the negative margins and
recoding the whole shibang. Thanks for your interest.

Do we even need one? DIVs can be nested but not overlapped, and
links can be contained in DIVs but can't overlap them.

Michelle, have you validated your HTML?
