Hi guys and girls,

Having a little problem figuring out why the link on the "photos" button is not working in IE... any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jonathan

It most likely has something to do with all the <!stuff> you have spread everywhere. I don't know what those are supposed to be but they're not valid HTML. Validate your HTML and correct the errors, see if it helps.

nah, not much help... I cleaned it up a bit, but had no effect on it...

Don't know what to tell you but in IE 7.0, when I mouseover your Skicka button, it shows "form_action.php" in the status bar as a link.

Buttons aren't meant to do that. Can't help feeling IE has an issue with the preceding form that is interfering with the link.

No idea why. Could you have discovered another IE bug?

Removed the form all together and still it didn't like that little link... if you see it on firefox/flock, no problems.

Do we have any IE Hack Masters on here?

It seems to be related to your use of negative margins. Your layout is really setup in a complex manner, I think you should revise it a bit and try to avoid negative margins.

I made the following changes to the CSS, which more or less fixed the problem. I seem to have hit another bizarre bug in IE but at least this one doesn't impair usability.

CODE

#buttons{
    text-align: center;
}

#icon_photos{
    display: inline;
}

#icon_presentations{
    display: inline;

}

#buttons img { padding: 0 20px; }
