CSS Problems *Resolved*

[dj4uk]

I'm experiencing problems with a CSS used by Netscape 4.7.

I have a different style sheet that is used for each browser (the html code is identical for all browsers) however when view in Netscape 4.7 links within a couple of the layers do not work (even the pointing hand doesn't appear). Everything works fine in Netscape 6+ and IE.

It must be a CSS problem - but I can't find out why - anyone have any ideas? Attached is the css for Netscape 4.7 - the problem layers are doubletextpanel and singletextpanel. Please note however that both these layers are nested within MainLayer and ContentLayer like so...

<div id="MainLayer" class="MainLayer">
<div id="ContentLayer" class="ContentLayer">
<div id="doubletextpanel" class="doubletextpanel">
</div>
</div>
</div>

<div id="MainLayer" class="MainLayer">
<div id="ContentLayer" class="ContentLayer">
<div id="singletextpanel" class="singletextpanel">
</div>
</div>
</div>

Help appreciated.

perhaps its bcuse you given both a z-index of 100?

[dj4uk]

That makes no difference - I increased the z-index as I thought maybe another layer might be overlapping them and hence stopping the links from working. The z-index can be any integer.

[davebat]

yes but both these layers will be in the same position on screen. make ones z index 101 and see if the link on this one then works

[dj4uk]

Sorry didn't explain quite right. The two layers in question never appear on the same screen but they experience the same problems. Sorry I wasn't clearer.

I am sorry but there probably isn't much you can do about any CSS displaying incorrectinly in Netscape 4.7.

That browser has the worst rendering engine ever created. It WILL NOT display, probably most, if not, all CSS incorrectly.

I managed to sort this in the end. It seemed that with netscape 4.7 links won't work if you use position:relative. As soon as you remove this or use position:absolute the links work fine. So once this was removed and there was a little jiggling around with the ns4.7 CSS everythings fine.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
