    Posted: 02 August 2006 at 1:06pm
Hi, I'm in the first stages of doing a new website and have set it up so that the Top and Bottom sections are include files so I can edit those seperately.

This is working fine apart from one strange issue. The Academy image in the bottom left is a link to another website and whilst this works fine in IE, for some reason it's not a link in Firefox, despite it being in the source code. It also works fine if you look at the include file on its own

Just wondered whether anyone might have any ideas as to why.
Main page
Include Page

Thanks for any help,

Confused Seb!

FireFox doesnt read includes, the server reads them. If the pages arent ASP, the includes wont work correctly.

Make sure the pages are ASP pages and your include statements are correct.

Sorry, i've explained it poorly.  It is an ASP page including an HTML file. The odd thing is that it includes it ok, just that a link on one of the included elements doesn't work in firefox (even though it appears in the source code)

I you're talking about the image link, it only the only active link part of it is around the bottom of the image. Looking at how it overlays a line, it's probably a positioning thing. 

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

The image is being applyed the following style:
 
.academy {
 margin-top: -135px;
 margin-left: 20px;
}
 
There's your problem.
 
Also, the image is inside the footer div???? Shouldn't be, should it? It will not scale well, and theres serious problems with your HTML and CSS, it will not validate as XHTML, I would recommend revision asap.

The image is in a div of it's own (not in the footer), the closing tag beneath it is for the Container div which holds everything on the page.

Shall have a look into how I can sort out the positioning.

Thanks for your help

PS. Just checked and it validates XHTML and CSS fine
