Netscape cannot see my download links

I have a site

http://www.allaboutpets.org.uk/dogindex1.html

Now on all of the cat doh horse index pages when using netscape
browser ( all versions ) the download links in the left column do not
work.

If you try using PC Explorer ( all versions 4 and above ) the links
work fine.

I have no idea why Netscape cannot see these links.

My guess would relate to the css rules which define the placement of
layers such as;

..indexColumnOne {
position: absolute;
width: 345px;
left: 15px;
top: 140px;
z-index: 1;
visibility: visible;

}
..indexColumnTwo {
position: absolute;
width: 345px;
left: 385px;
top: 140px;
z-index: 2;
visibility: visible;

It is the links in .indexColumnOne that are not focussed.

Can anyone please help me with this one

Many thanks

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...dogindex1.html
shows 29 errors with your page's HTML.

This page looks like something out of the 1990s, with a few faltering
steps to move from a table layout to a fixed CSS layout.

I presume you mean "Internet Explorer".

The link target is: <a href="#">

What are you expecting to happen? You have some bizarre Javascript link
thing that refers to a bluestreak.com page. Why not just use:

<a href="/assets/pdfs/dog/dog11.pdf"> for example? This would work in
browsers that don't have JS turned on.

However, I think you're probably right about the dodgy CSS, as the
right-hand two links do work.

In your position, I'd ditch the current code and re-write by hand.
Shouldn't take long. Lose all the absolute positioning and table layout,
make each leaflet into a div, and let them flow rather than restricting
to columns.

Good luck!
