Hi everyone I need some help with my site. I inserted some images on my webpage and I want to use the image as a link that will link back to my index.html page. For some reason the link works in Firefox but not when I use internet explorer. I don't understand why it won't work in Internet Explorer. Can anyone help me please? I don't have a place to upload my page to the internet I will post the code, or if some could paste in thier notepad and maybe give it a try, and if anyone can help me with this it would be great. I did validate my code and my style sheet at w3, and no errors where found. I will post my css stylesheet code, my index page, and my about us page. The pic on the about us page will has the link to the index page. Thank you in advance for any help.

This one?

<figure id="pics">

Nothing wrong with that that I can see unless the JS in the conditional comment does something funky with it. It works in my IE. In what way doesn't it work for you?

That can't be the intended use of FIGURE, but that wouldn't stop the link from working.

Can you link to the page?

I don't have a link sorry. I'm just practicing from a book I got. After I complete the code I open the page up from my desktop using firefox and I.E. When I use Firefox all the images lead back to the hope page, but when I use I.E. and hover to click the images nothing happens. Thanks for the reply at least I know if I uploaded it to a actual server it would work, just not on my computer for some reason.

That sounds as if something is positioned on top of the link. Do you have more CSS than you posted here? I see you link to two style sheets.

Afraid it probably doesn't have anything to do with that you view the page on your own machine.

The second style sheet is for a printing. If someone wants to print in only black and white it will print with out colors.

Thanks for your replies, I don't know what it was, maybe my computer needed a break. But all the links are working properly now. Maybe I'll try to find someplace to upload my practice sites. Thanks for having patience and helping me out.
