(or other links above) The links in the footer do work as does the BACK link. I've created this website using HTML_Kit. Code <a href="Sept_08.doc">news</a> but note that another link on http://www.parenthesis.org.uk/main/resources.htm with code <a href="music/alt_word.doc"> does work fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.load http://www.parenthesis.org.uk/main/about_us.htm 2.move mouse over test link news 3.no change in link and nothing happens Actual Results: Load page and find any text identified as hyperlink. Those links that work change to show grey background and can be clicked Expected Results: Those links that do not work do not change to grey and cannot be clicked Recognised the links and retrieved the file requested

You have a xhtml Doctype but your server sends the page with the content-type text/html. That means you can not close tags with /> because they are invalid in html. Fix all your broken Tags in the head and for example in : <img src="images/parenthesis-logo-c-transparent%20copy.gif" style="position: absolute;" width="134" height="124" alt="The Parenthesis Choir logo" /> or let the server serv it with a correct xhtml mime-type.

http://www.parenthesis.org.uk/main/mainstyle.css 261#primaryContentContainer 262{ 263 264 float: right; 265 margin-left: -19em; 266 width: 100%; 267 position: relative; 268} "position: relative" moves this box to a higher stacking context than the float that follows that contains the links. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-z-index

"higher stacking level" is what I meant to say...

Apologies for being a 'duplicate' but couldn't find exact reference from your lists. The mime-type change has been done but actually didn't change anything. However, removing the relative positioning in the css sheet 261#primaryContentContainer did solve the problem and as far as I can test didn't mess up other browswers rendering. Thank you :) both. I obviously have a lot still to learn Jean
