These links do appear blue/underlined, but the mouse cursor does not change, and nothing happens when they are clicked. The page does validate correctly for both CSS and HTML. By experimentation, I have found that this page: http://www.richard.neill.hemscott.net/theo/home2.html which has only one change will work correctly. The offnding line is this one: <img src="images/sidebar1.gif" width="160" height="641" border="0" alt="navigate" /> and if the height attribute is reduced below 150, it will work. However, a changing the background image in one part of a page shouldn't cause links to stop working in another part! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: This bug is reproducible in Mozilla (suite), and in Konqueror. However, the page works OK in I.E. Expected Results: Perhaps there is something wrong with the page design, however subtle, which is causing this. But even though the layout may be wrong, I think no layout error should cause links to stop working.

Block elements such as <div>, if unconstrained, extend to the full width of the enclosing block, and your div#side covers the content of the page (which is a float).

Mozilla and Konq are both using entirely different HTML engines. I'm not sure about whether or not this bug is valid, but just because the HTML/CSS is valid doesn't mean that the current behaviour can't be correct according to the CSS. Removing some of the position CSS attibutes makes the links clickable. This *may* be a case of bad design. *If* there is no layout error, there is nothing to fix.

Thank you very much for your explanation. I shall send a comment to the web designer as well - and mark this bug as invalid. Best wishes - Richard
