The web page at http://www.rossowinspections.com/ has an issue with the
left menu. The left menu has 7 links. One of the links doesn't work.
Using Firefox 1.5 the Fees link isn't a clickable link, if viewed as a
full screen. If you shrink the window down the Fees link then becomes
a link. The link works in IE and Mozilla. I've validated the CSS and
XHTML, the CSS had no errors, the XHTML has no errors other than the
paramaters for the anchor tag (I didn't think this was the culprit
since the links work if the screen is scaled down).
My CSS and XHTML are below, since shrinking the window fixes the
problem I took out any % declarations in the CSS thinking that was the
problem. That doesn't seem to fix the problem.
If it helps, I was experiencing different problem using Firefox on
Linux. The fees link was working, but a different link wouldn't work.
So I got a hold of one of the contributors to Firefox, praying that
this wasn't a Firefox issue. It isn't a Firefox issue, his response
was:
'... you have an absolutely positioned div with a z-index that puts it
over... something,
depending on your window size, font size, etc.'
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
