Hello

Got a strange issue which only manifests itself on Safari browser, 1.3.2 (v312.6) running on OS X.3.9 - very minor but irritating...if you go to

http://www.iwics.com/Technology/ODMA.shtml

and rollover "Basic Concepts" and also "Advantages" in the left menu bar, unlike every other link, you won't get the familiar hand/finger pointer icon as you rollover these two links...they will take you to the correct page when clicked but there's no finger pointer, though on every other page, rollover those words and you do get the pointer...tried re coding it by hand, tried copy/paste from good versions on other pages, no go...strange.

Thanks

Actually, this problem exists also on latest Safari 3.0.3 on MAC OS X.4.10 as well.

Thoughts?

When that happens, it usually indicates that some positioned element with a high z-index is slightly overlapping a link set to display: block. (Or, at least that's my experience.) With the plethora of tables you've got in there, much less the js and/or css positioning, I can't really tell what element is overlapping what. I suggest that you use process of elimination to find out what it could be. ;)
BTW, around line 139, you've got <tr> tags, but no <td> tags within them.

Thanks for the helpful comments - the persistent layer does have a z index of 100, so I will try to lower that number, maybe it'll help - as for the line 139, so how do I fix that?

If the table contains other items, I'd just delete the <tr> set. If the table contains nothing but the empty <tr>, I'd delete the whole set of tags - the <table> and the <tr>.
