Firefox Links vs IE

[Steve Byrd]

First, I have read the other posts on this subject however my situation is
different.

Site built in FP 2002. Some links work and some do not but my issue is not
text boxes.

I have straight text, in a table, on one page that Firefox won't accept as a
link but I have other straight text, on another page that works fine.

Now for the weird part. I have an animated gif at the top of one page that
Firefox ignores as a link. The same animated gif at the bottom of the page
is recognized.

Show us the page. I'm guessing that the answer will be in the code.

I fixed the text issue by putting it in a table and nesting that table in
another one but this one is very strange

The animated gif at the top is not recognised as a link, the same gif at the
bottom is.

Looks like both lead to the same link to me!

They both work here.
Try clearing you browser history and temporary files and then check the page.

For some reason I missed the part in this post that the animated gif at the
top wasn't being recognized as a link in Firefox! After looking at this
again and seeing that part I tried the page in Firefox and Steve is
correct....it isn't!! It appears that the code is ok and I saved the page
at http://duxburybaker.com/duxbury/Listingpages/1810indrivlistpage.htm to my
PC and then published to a sub web on my server and the top link is
recognized in Firefox there. Strange............

'Tis weird, for s&g's try eliminating the space in the folder name;
Tour%20Pages change the folder name to: tour_pages, no caps, no spaces...see
if that helps.

FireFox does not recognise the top .gif as an image, but in IE mode it
functions correctly.

Thank you all. It is most perplexing. as an aside, you may have noticed I
haven't been on for a few days. For some reason, none of my PCs would let me
on to the discussion group. Cleared browser etc. Send a note to MS, they told
me to clear browser, no joy. Finally decided to give it a try and this post
is evidence of what happened...go figure. Still can't get on with IE

It's due to an absolutely positioned div that overlays the top gif
rendering the link beneath inactive. Code for the div looks like this:

<div
style="position: absolute; left: 369px; top: 246px; width: 306px;
height: 556px;"
id="e0"> <script>
function checkForm0() {
return true;
}
</script>
<form style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"
name="Form0" method="post" action=""
onsubmit="return checkForm0()"><!--$name Loan
Calculator$--><!--$table$--> </form>
</div>

No problem. Glad that solved it. As Murray said the answer will be in
the code. And for what it's worth it didn't take long to find using the
companion mozilla page builder NVU. Not trying to drum up business for
the competition but mention it as a possible tool for future Firefox
troubleshooting.

Good luck and best wishes!
