Odd issue with image 'hover' region

Sent by Angus McIntyre on 29 November 2004 23:11


I'm currently working on a site that can be seen at:

	http://dev.disoriented.net/

It seems generally OK with most of the Mac browsers I've checked it 
on, plus IE5.5 and Firefox on Windows, but I'd welcome comments as to 
any problems I've overlooked.

There's one thing I can't figure out, though. In the top left of the 
index page, just below the banner, I have a thumbnail image showing a 
man in a red shirt. It's a standard <a href="..."><img ... /></a> 
affair. In Windows Explorer, if you move your mouse anywhere over the 
image, the cursor changes to a hand and you can click to see a larger 
version of the picture.

In Opera, Gecko- (Firefox on Mac and Windows) and Webkit-based 
browsers (Safari, Omniweb 5), if you point to the upper-left of the 
image, the cursor doesn't change and clicking does nothing. Only if 
you move your pointer down to the lower-right of the image does it 
become clickable. Normally, the clickable area should cover the whole 
image (as it does in Explorer), but across a broad range of browsers 
it appears to be reduced to just a fraction of the whole 'clickable 
space'.

I suspect that this may be somehow to do with margins on the 
containing <div> (the same image and the same immediately-surrounding 
markup appears on another page - click the '28' in the calendar to 
see it - and here everything is normal). Does anyone have any 
explanation of why this occurs, and suggestions for what I could do 
to fix it?

Thanks, Angus
