[Solved] Skip Link problem in FF

Well, I loaded it in FF 2.0.0.4 PC and clicked the skip to contents. It just goes to an anchor. Nothing changes.

:?

I'm using FF 2.0.0.4 too and although I go to where the anchor is, the top nav bar folds up. See attachment.

I'v never seen this sort of behaviour before (except in IE!).

Freaky!

You need to look closer Treva, the main nav is disappearing.

Hellbells: Its scrolling the #mainbox content and because of the overflow:hidden the top part disappears. Why it should scroll the content I can't say. How there can be any content to scroll, I can't say.

Yeh, I know, blind as a bat.

BUT, here's a thing. Make it VALID XHTML, and all is well (the />'s) for the meta's link's img's and br's:

But, I see the page uploaded is now as I posted it, and clicking the skip doesn't cause the problem anymore.

Hi Chris

Thanks for that - it was the overflow hidden that did it! I've removed it and, after updating the clearfix thingy for IE7 it all seems calm now.

thanks to everyone who looked.

Just realised.

I used scrapbook to download your site. It removes the xhtml end tags (a bug).

I really need to get some beer.

I thought I was going mad - now that I know it's you that's going mad I feel much happier!

I'm almost always happy, which proves I'm mad.

Or that you found that beer you were looking for CT

A nice cool can of miller (big one). mmmm

And I figured you for a CAMRA afficionado

Nah
