Links cannot be clicked in right DIV

Hi all

I've searched ye olde web as well as this and other groups. There are
many solutions but none which work for my situation.

I am webmaster for the CEP (http://www.thecep.org.uk/index.shtml) and
on the front page I have a DIV floated to the right. The links on this
DIV can be clicked if you use IE but the cursor doesn't even change to
a hand in Firefox.

I have validated the document as strict HTML 4.01 and it passes (with
warnings) the CSS.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Thanks, Gav

Get rid of all those "z-index" rules.

.content overlays .right-navigation preventing access to the form. In
fact .content overlays almost everything on the page.
To aid troubleshooting add a border or a background color to the <div>s
so you can see how they interact with each other.

Thanks for your v. prompt response. I admit I only added those in a
desperate hope that I could fix it that way!

Now that they're gone, though, it is still not working.

I understand that .content covers the rest of the page, but I want it
to be as wide as possible (to fill the rest of the screen). I didn't
think the DIVs were supposed to overlap as per

wrong?

Thanks again, Gav

Scratch my last -- I found the problem (and thanks to your suggestion)
-- a sneaky position:relative was in the .content DIV. Dunno how that
got there.

Thanks a lot, Gav

Probably put there by a sneaky relative...
