HTML - Some Links Not Working In Firefox
I'm building a small website with only 5 links. Two of the links work fine while the other three are non-functional in Firefox. All links work fine, as they should from what I can gather, in IE. If anyone could take a gander at the code and point out anything they see that Firefox might not like I'm all ears. I'm totally baffled on this one. I know all the inline CSS makes for cluttered code but it's such a small website I didn't feel like creating a style sheet and having to switch back and forth. I'm using Firefox/3.5.12 for testing the site in Firefox btw.
UPDATE: Problem solved. Had to undo some particular jerryrigging elswhere on the page to overcome a strange gap that there was no rhyme or reason should be there. Found another solution and now the links work fine. code: <div style="position: relative; top: 0; left: 0; width: 634px;"> <div style="position: relative; top: 30px; left: 85px; width: 80px; height: 30px; background-image: url(images/blk-gry-light-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; padding: 5px; float: left;"><a style="color: #000000;" href="index.html">home</a></div> <div style="position: relative; top: 30px; left: 105px; width: 80px; height: 30px; background-image: url(images/blk-gry-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; padding: 5px; float: left;"><a href="walking.html">dogwalking</a></div> <div style="position: relative; top: 30px; left: 125px; width: 80px; height: 30px; background-image: url(images/blk-gry-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; padding: 5px; float: left;"><a href="sitting.html">dogsitting</a></div> <div style="position: relative; top: 30px; left: 145px; width: 80px; height: 30px; background-image: url(images/blk-gry-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; padding: 5px; float: left;"><a href="rates.html">our rates</a></div> <div style="position: relative; top: 30px; left: 165px; width: 80px; height: 30px; font-size: 16px; background-image: url(images/blk-gry-bg.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; text-align: center; padding: 5px; float: left;"><a href="contact.php">contact us</a></div> </div> Similar TutorialsI have some hmtl code that runs fine under Google Chrome but not under IE8 or Firefox. When i left click links on the left side panel, the linked text disappears until i release the mouse, and even then i am not redirected to the linked page.

I have been writing pages for an intranet where the employees only use IE, and IE 6 to be precise, company defined, not me. Some of the pages will now be accessible to outside users so I thought I needed to test on more browsers and I have found an issue with some HTML not working in FF. <DIV id="idser" class="InnerBox" style="position: absolute; top: 80; left: 400; height: 68; width: 130"> <A class="link" onClick="dshow('idserdet'); dhide('idnew'); dhide('idview'); dhide('idser'); dhide('idhist'); dhide('idreq'); dhide('idgrn'); dhide('idtran'); dhide('idxfer')"> <IMG SRC="/images/barcode.gif HEIGHT="34" WIDTH="100" BORDER="0"> </A> <br> <A class="link" onClick="dshow('idserdet'); dhide('idnew'); dhide('idview'); dhide('idser'); dhide('idhist'); dhide('idreq'); dhide('idgrn'); dhide('idtran'); dhide('idxfer')"> Serial # Search </A> </DIV> <DIV id="idhist" class="InnerBox" style="position: absolute; top: 80; left: 530; height: 68; width: 130"> <A HREF="http://dev.au.av.ae.ge.com/cgi-bin/saafpcgi/none/sapsco6/zz/dev/ivreview" class="link"> <IMG SRC="/images/history.gif HEIGHT="34" WIDTH="32" BORDER="0"> </A> <br> <A HREF="http://dev.au.av.ae.ge.com/cgi-bin/saafpcgi/none/sapsco6/zz/dev/ivreview" class="link"> View History </A> </DIV> Both lots of code above work in IE, the first DIV with link does not work in FF. I have tried adding the onClick to the DIV and removed the anchors, I have made HREF="#" and also HREF="javascript;;" and several other permutations but none seem to make the link work in FF. I have spend hours on this now. Any/All thoughts/advice will be gratefully accepted. I just edited my links and they are working in IE but not Mozilla. I'm using CSS script to change the link's text color on mouseover. Might that be the problem? Please check the source IN MOZILLA: http://americanchic.net/BlankGrid3 I just put up a flash banner and below it are the html links (incase someone doesn't want to dl the plugin) and it worked in IE6 but not in Firefox I don't know the reason why, I do see it in the source for FF but it's not showing. I also cleared cache but still don't see it. my site's at www.PTSgirl.com ..am I the only one who doesnt see it in firefox?? thanks in advance! I have a lot of mp3's on my website for download. I want the download box to pop up when you click on the file so you can choose whether to save it or open it. It works fine in Internet Explorer. In Firefox it starts streaming the song in quicktime, which forces me to right click and hit 'save as' if I actually want to download it. Why does Firefox do this? I did find a few threads on this topic by searching the forums. Their solution was to use a lengthy php script. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this possibly with some simple html code. Thanks. Is it possible to turn off underlining of links in FF? I realise the user can turn them off in some versions of FF, but can the coder ensure they are never there? If not, is it possible to change the colour of the underlining? I have green links and blue underlining at the moment. Thanks. Hi, pretty new to HTML, any help would be greatly appreciated. My links back to my home page etc e.g. my menu links that link to my root folder work fine in IE but when I try opening them in firefox or Flock none of my links work including my link to my CSS style Sheet. Heres an example of my code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Anime</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=" /anime2.css"/> </head> <body> <div class="header"> <div class="logo"> <a href="/Anime.html"> <img src="/anime.png" alt-"Anime Hub" style="border-style:none"/> </a> </div> </div> <div class="menu"> <ul> <li> <a href="/anime.html"> Home </a> </li> <li> <a href="/animenews.html"> News </a> </li> <li> <a href="/animes.html"> Animes </a> </li> <li> <a href="/animepreviews.html"> Previews </a> </li> <li> <a href="/animeblog.html"> Blog </a> </li> <li> <a href="/animeforums.html"> Forums </a> </li> </ul> </div> Im using a forward slash for the link to search in my root folder, if I use ../../ to go back two folders it seems to work, but this is tedious and I am sure there must be another way. Please Help Thanks in advance I'm an HTML novice in desperate need of an HTML expert. I paid a guy a lot of money to convert my website over from a Microsoft server to a Linux server and the results were mixed. The text links work in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. http://www.colorado-carpet-masters.com/carpetcleaningBoulder.php I tried taking them out of a table with no luck. For some reason Firefox reads the links as regular HTML instead of a Hyperlink. Hi all, I've spent several hours building my site. Most of my time was spent setting up the custom menu using CSS. So I am very disappointed to see it not display correctly in Firefox. After doing some research, I realized that some of my HTML isn't validating correctly. But I cant figure out how to fix it. A lot of has to do with the SPAN codes.

On my links page (yeah, there's not much there yet) none of the links work. The sidebar works fine, but nothing else is clickable, and I'm not sure why. (Ok, that's a lie - I have no clue why!) If it matters I'm using Dreamweaver 8. I have been having a problem with the site I am trying to build. The links won't work when the text I have in the content goes past it. Here is a link to the site as an example. http://nate.augspot.com/news.php I have been sent a flash file to use on my website as an ad. I have successfully inserted it as a html into my website, and it is all working fine apart from one thing. The link is not working. I have followed all the tutorials correctly, and when you hover over it, it displays the link in the pane at the bottom of Internet Explorer. The problem is that I can't edit the flash file, and it did not come with any hyperlink added to the swf. Is there a way I can make this work so that it goes to the link when clicked on? This is my html code so far: <a href="http://www.rspb.org.uk" target="_blank"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" width="498" height="380" id="test1"> <param name="movie" value="http://s1.2mdn.net/1286313/GOLDFINCH-RSPB-LBANNER-SWF.swf " /><embed src="http://s1.2mdn.net/1286313/GOLDFINCH-RSPB-LBANNER-SWF.swf " width="468" height="60" name="test1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object> </a> Hey guys, I have a page here I'm testing out HTML dropdown links on: http://www.bluemasklover.co.uk/diary22.html and for some reason all 4 "site" buttons work in Firefox but not in IE. Could someone please tell me what I have to do to get them to work in both? Thanks BML. I'm coding a website for another design firm, and I'm having a problem I've never run into before. I have a rollover image script on every image that's linked to another page. The link in the "contact" div works perfectly in FF and IE. However, the link and the rollover in the "navigation" div works in IE but NOT FF. The code for the image and rollover is exactly the same. To test this, I even pasted the contents of the contact div into the navigation div exactly, but no cigar. Both of these divs are in a main div, and the only variable between the two is the elements of the divs in the stylesheet. I feel like a total idiot that this isn't working- it seems like such a stupid little thing to not work, and I'm absolutely baffled. Any help or advice that you could throw my way would be greatly appreciated. Hi - Any help would be appreciated I have uploaded an MP3 (Legal as i created this myself) to my website and want to give people the ability to download it. I tried the code: <A HREF="mymp3.com">Download </a> When i tried the link it just started plaing the MP3 using quicktime. I dont want them to stream it, i want when people click on it, a download box appears. Any ideas on what i an doing wrong. The mp3 is in the same directory as the html page the link is on. I am very very new to all things related to programming/coding, etc. I am working on a project, and cannot get my buttons to link to additional pages on a website. I wanted the buttons to not be so standard looking, and am using css styles for them. Here is my code and also the css code for the buttons. Am I needing JavaScript to get this to work? If so, what do I need? Thank you so much.

Hi there, I have a problem with two pages on my website; the right-nav images are not working (in IE7). I have checked the links in the code and they are set up correctly, however the links seem inactive once tested. They do work fine in Firefox. The links are nested in a table, that is inside another (main) table, and they are not set as background images for the cell. Please see http://www.centralbancmtg.com/test/contact.html to see what I am talking about. The links that do not work are the "Mortgage Brokers - Click Here", "Today's HOT Programs" and "Employee Login" located on the right column. The follwoing link has the same problem: "Todays' HOT Programs" (first 2/3rds of the image are not "clickable") on: http://www.centralbancmtg.com/test/brokers.html I am not an expert and need help immediately. I'm sure it's an easy fix but if you have a solution please let me know ASAP! Thank you! |
