Linked images in sidebar not clickable

    I’m only having this ‘no click’ on the home page and only in Firefox and Chrome. The green ‘contribute’ and ‘volunteer’ buttons are only clickable on the sub pages of the site. Not good. Here’s the link …

    Works fine in IE7 and Safari. Could the flash on the home be competing somehow?

    Here’s the code for the contribute button

    <center>

<a href="https://www.donnellhardy.org/contribute"><img src="https://www.donnellhardy.com/images/contrib.jpg" border="0"></a>

  • You have a lot of errors, https://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3a%2f%2fwww.donnellhardy.org%2f

    I did not go thru them to see if any contribute to your problems but that would be a good place to start.

    Wow, didn’t realize I had so many errors. Most of them have to do with the youtube video and the embedded flash movie on the home page.

    I changed the doctype to Transitional/loose and that reduced many of the errors. But the images/links in the side bar on the home are still not clickable.

    I can’t remove the video or the flash. Any other ideas to solve this problem?

    I think you are working on it as the code changes everytime I look. I’ll check back later.

    I’m sorry. I have been working on it. I’ll leave it alone until 9pm eastern (US). Thx for checking kmessinger.

    1721media,

    Errors aside, it appears you need a width on the #content. It is spilling over into the sidebar and covering it.

    This is not a correct width but add this into the stylesheet as a test.

    #content {
   width: 200px;
   }

    As doc4 says, your content is causing the problem. Delete it and the links work. Setting a width like he suggests is a good thing to try.

    doc4, you were right on target. I thought I had a content width tag but it wasn’t being noticed for some reason. made a few changes and voila, it works. Thank you both.
