118402 - Part of link is not clickable

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Jens Müller (:tessarakt)]

Go to the above URL.

On the top, there is the text "Neuen Eintrag erstellen".

The source for that is:

<a HREF="/web/holstentherme/www.nsf/formguestbook.html?OpenForm"
onMouseOut="top.Stop();" onMouseOver="top.Start('Neuen Eintrag
erstellen');"><font COLOR="0000ff"> Neuen Eintrag erstellen</font></a>

Put the cursor on "Neuen".

Expected behavior: Cursor changes to a finger.
Actual behavior: Cursor remains normal.

Then click.

Expected behavior: The same as when clicking on "erstellen".
Actual behavior: Nothing happens.

I dont understand the site's HTML-code exactly, but isnt this div:
<div id="AREA"
style="width:340px;height:35px;left:0px;top:0px;position:absolute;z-index:100">
just laying above the link, making it unclickable?

Taking this bug

The absolute positioning of the div does in fact overlay the anchor and the 
anchor content is not accessible through it. The z-index on the div is what is 
forcing the div to the front. I am attaching a reduced testcase that adds a 
z-index and position to the outer most table which brings it to the front. In 
any event this is invalid.

Attachment: reduced test case

added the style attribute to the outer table that includes the position and
z-index properties
