HELP needed on link ovelapped and not working

[khuankhuan]

I faced a problem whereby the link of my logo does not work as it is being overlapped by some sort of invisible things (i am not quite sure how to call or what it is) whereby i cannot click on my logo where it'll redirect me back to my homepage.

The link to my main page is:
http://yourjmart.com/

Sorry for the long codes posted here, but i was afraid that i might missing out the key to solve the problem.

Thanks for helping!

the code for the tpl_header.php is:

<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->

?>

<?php if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '' || (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2))) { ?>

to be honest i'm just about to sign off for the evening, but i had the same problem a little while ago and it had to do with the CSS, not the PHP.

it was the the order each container is loaded, and one div just happenned to overlap the other but was placed on-top. unfortunately i needed the whitespace (or transparent space), however you may not. containers in your page (to the best of my knowledge) are loaded sequentially, so if you have a container further down in the page, it will appear "in front" of other containers should your CSS positioning dictate this. hence you need to do one of two things: a), re-assign the z-index on the offending container or the affected container (which may be a problem if both contain links), or alternatively, find out where the additional whitespace (or transparent space) is coming from and fix it.

sorry for the very ambiguous reply, but i gotta go!

good luck

Yea i knew its the problem with the css stylesheet, as when i replaced the stylesheet with default there are no such problem. Thanks for the z-index suggestion, i did managed to solve the problem. However, can you show me which line or code that made the white space? so that i can avoid doing so next time. Thanks again!

[ALiepinieks]

to be honest i still have the same problem, and spent hours looking for a reason without success. changing the z-index was the only thing i could find to work, so at this point i simply accepted it, and intend addressing this in a few weeks. so while i don't have an answer for you now, i can assure you if and when i find it, i will reply to this post then. for now however i have to say sorry!

Divs that overlaping most likely will prevent a link from functioning properly even when you set z-indexs.
Make sure that none of your div areas are overlaping.
Your best bet at this point is to add borders to the div tag styles that make up your containers / wrappers and look to see exactly where all of your divs are lining up on your pages then methodicly manupulate your div classes attributes to move the information around on the page untill everything is in the places where you want them.
When your doing this make the divs with and hight are exactly the same as the width and height of the areas of information that will be seen.
you may need to clear some of the attributes set in place by previous divs. this can be done by adding clear:all; or clear:both; to the div style.

The overlaping of the divs and links can be a nasty thing to deal with when customizing Zen Cart.
