miumiu Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm not sure why my "Biography Contact Artist Statement Publications Links" links are not clickable. Please help. Thanks! The website is: http://www.alanleder.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 1. You have an open <a> tag where you want a closing </a> tag:<p><a href='/'><img src='http://alanleder.com/files/alanfinal.jpg'/><a></p>2. Validate your document. You'll discover a few other issues that can mess things up also.3. I strongly recommend against absolute positioning. It's not part of the problem, but you get the free advice anyway. Google around to find out the reasons. They do not need to be repeated here again.

jeffman Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Fixed positioning does not solve your problem either. I now know it IS the positioning. When I scroll the page to the right, the links become clickable. That is because a layer with no background is somehow positioned in front of them. Scrolling right moves that layer, so the links get uncovered.Seriously, learn how to use CSS correctly. You're bending over backwards to position things just so, but the technique is flawed, and it's giving you grief. The rules to look at are display, float, clear, width, height, and margin.

vipul20_j Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 sir i know it's the same coz W3 has been my teacher and i owe a lot to this site.But in some areas W3 lacks behind coz the user has to open the examples to learn more about the topic and it takes time so i've improved this in my site.I can offer W3 something in return for sure, i can shift the traffic of programmingbullsto W3 in some topics of web designing if the moderator asks me to.I really appreciate your concern for W3schools.
