[resolved] Item Page Sidebar Links Not Working in Firefox (6 posts)

    Weird. None of the links in my item page sidebar work in Firefox, except for those below the last line of content. This problem does not occur on my main page, and it does not occur at all in IE.

    Perhaps someone can take a look at this and figure out what's going on.

    Main page. http://wallstreetexaminer.com/

    Typical item page. http://wallstreetexaminer.com/?p=521

    Also, does anyone know of a plugin that will activate links posted in Comments to work as an active hyperlink?

    TIA

    The links work fine when the stylesheet is switched off, so presumably it's a CSS problem. I wonder if something is overlying the sidebar so that you're not actually getting to click on the links?

    I hope that's helpful.

    I think I will rebuild the sidebar from scratch.

    Fixed.

    Can you tell us what the problem was so that anyone having this problem in the future will have a better idea what to do about it?

    I just had the same situation :) The problem was that links in the sidebar didn't work (I was unabale to click them, they didn't change on hover). This was not the case which appeared visually under the content (when there was a llittle content , the links below the content line worked fine). The problem occured only in FF. In my case the sidebar was covered by the content :) The css for my layout was something like:

    #sidebar{
        position:relative;
        top:10px;
        float:right;
        width:190px;
    }
    #content{
        position:relative;
        padding: 0px 200px 0px 10px;
    }

    and html like:

    <div id="main_content">
    <div id="sidebar"></div>
    <div id="content"></div>
    </div>

    So as You can see sidebar was floated to the right and i made a space for it by adding padding right of content. And I ended up having sidebar coverd by content, athougth visible. But I fixed this by adding z-index property to the sidebar and that solved the problem! Hope it helps!
