Description

[Steve Holcomb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041229 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041229 Firefox/1.0+

The page displays correctly, however the links Register Online, Download
Application, See Maps, and 2004 Results do nothing.  Can't go to the linked
page.  Same for the dropdowns in About Us, Contact Us, and Home.  Other links on
the left side work fine.  I just installed Firefox 1.0+.  I also installed the
latest Mozilla and the same thing happens.  IE in XP service pack 3 works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bring up the page
2.Put cursor over any of the mentioned links
3.Attempt to click the link

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
The link (http site) should have displayed at bottom left of screen, and when
the link was clicked, the requested page should have been displayed.

The culprit is a div sneaking into the HTML code:

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; width:530px; height:450px; z-index:1;
overflow: auto;">

It's sitting on top of the table.  Removing that fixes the problem.

So this is Tech-Evang?

When loading (opening)a file with a large number of links, such as at 
http://www.cga.ct.gov/2005/pub/Chap246.htm, not all of the links are active.  
The page takes forever to load, even if it has been saved locally.

This occurs with Firefox 1.0.4 (build on June 4, 2005).
I am using Windows XP Home Edition
Version	5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600.
