Go to the page http://www.theserverside.com/home/thread.jsp?thread_id=12916
The page has a table with three columns; the middle column is a threaded
discussion. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page. Mouse over the text and
the links at the bottom of the very last message in the threaded discussion, and
the cursor does not change to an ibeam over the text nor a "clickable" hand over
a link. The links cannot be clicked on, for example.

Reproducible: Always

1. Go to the page http://www.theserverside.com/home/thread.jsp?thread_id=12916
2. Go to the very bottom of the page
3. Mouse over the text and the links at the bottom of the very last message in
the threaded discussion (mouse pointer does not change to ibeam or click hand)
4. Attempt to click the links (e.g. "this thread", "Mark as Noisy", "Reply") at
the very bottom of the last message (does not work)

Actual Results:  
As described:
1. Mouse pointer does not change.
2. Links can not be clicked on.

Expected Results:  
As described:
1. Mouse pointer should change to ibeam over text, or to a "click hand" over links

The DIV with id of copyright is running over those links that you can't click
on.    Currently mozilla does not allow clicks to go through transperent parts.

What they could do is add width:150px
