Dead link on Downloads page

Post by Newbietoo »

Barry,

The "click here" in the AISFAM box on the RHS of this page is a dead link: http://www.aiscl.co.uk/downloadaisbackup.php

...well it was for me anyway. The other boxes are OK

Cheers,
Patrick

Dead link

Post by Barry »

As far as I know this link is dead in FireFox but okay in all other browsers. Does anyone know why?

Barry,

I have had our developer (Gary) take a look. Here are his comments.

It's a common problem with web pages and using divs for layout, the "main" content div, is defined as:

<div style="position: inherit">

And just before that in the markup there is the "right" panel defined as:

<div style="float: right; clear: right; width: 170px;">

The problem is is that divs try and use as much horizontal space as they can so the main content is using all of the space and effectively overlaying the right panel and stopping it from being "usable" (you can see it because browsers support layering and the rhs of the main content has nothing in it).

The solution is to tell the main content that it is "as wide as can be but leave 170px margin on the right", this then leaves space for the right panel and prevents it from being "overlayed" and thus not clickable.

Thus:

<div style="position: inherit; margin-right: 170px;">

...Unquote

Hope that helps!

Cheers Patrick
