User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Mozilla renders the links using the correct style information (i.e. as an <A>),
but the links cannot be clicked.  Using the <tab> key to tab through the page
links cycles through the unclickable links, but no mouse interaction works
correctly.  The links in question are at the bottom right corner (in the "ars
news" section).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the linked website
2. Try to click on the links at the bottom right

Actual Results:  
You can't click on the links in the "ars news" box.


Expected Results:  
You should be able to click on the links


Works correctly in IE

I think this is a "wontfix", since setting the z-index (thanks Olivier) to
something > 0 brings the div to the forefront of the page and allows it to
receive the click events.  It looks like the problem arises from my use of
padding-right: 170px which was causing the main <div> to overlay the side
<div>s.  Changing this to a margin-right: 170px and removing the z-index
attribute also solves the problem.
