Links From Custom Main Page

[Craig Robbo]

Hi

I'm building a custom front page with links to my cataloge.

My problem is the links work in Mozilla but not in Internet Explorer.

In the define pages editor for the main page i have;

<a id="womensLink" href="http://www.imagocollections.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=33"> </a>

and in my stylesheet I have;

#womensLink {
position: absolute;
top: 220px;
left: 513px;
height:200px;
width: 158px;
}

My site is located at http://www.imagocollections.com.au

Any help would really be appreciated.

Try correct anchor text format

<a href="http://www.imagocollections.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=33"> </a>

Let us know

Hi

Just tried your suggestion and tried putting < > in every place i could think of, all of which stopped it working in Firefox too. Got it working in Firefox again using 'a href' as below.

<a id="womensLink"a href="http://www.imagocollections.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=33"></a>

Still not working in IE though. Any ideas?

Thanks

As you've found out, firefox is extremely forgiving while IE is stOOpid. You cannot have to a calls without the dumb IE going "HUH!?!"
You're better off moving the id to a div outside the <a href...

Hi

I'm really sorry but could I trouble you for an example of what you mean there. I'm a total newbie when it comes to HTML - I only got the code for the links because "zen-master" ghj42 gave it to me.

Thanks for your help

Change this

<a id="womensLink"a href="http://www.imagocollections.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=33"></a>

to

<div id="womensLink"><a href="http://www.imagocollections.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=33">SOMETHING HERE PLEASE</a></div>

would probably work. Without the SOMETHING HERE PLEASE, nothing will show up.
Then your css would change to

#womensLink a{
position: absolute;
top: 220px;
left: 513px;
height:200px;
width: 158px;
}

I think you may have either misread ghj42 or caught him when he gave all his coffee to the devs

Thanks a heap for all of that.

Did as you said but the "SOMETHING HERE PLEASE" text is now displayed on the page and the link is limited to the text.

Sorry I should have explained myself a bit better. I was after the links to cover the photo frames pictured so that they form the links when they are clicked on.

Okay, I see what's going on but where are you defining image zones?

[Craig Robbo]

The front page is just one big .jpg. I'm trying to use

#womensLink a{
position: absolute;
top: 220px;
left: 513px;
height:200px;
width: 158px;[/COLOR]}

in my stylesheet to define where the links are positioned (changing the positions for each image). Works for Firefox but not IE. Sorry for the confusion
