Sorry, I thought it would get tagged with my earlier post.
URL: http://cmc.vanguardia.co.uk/products/section-home.asp?SectionID=19 It now looks roughly how I wanted it to look, though achieved through a strange solution. Original Problem: ---------------------- Evening all, Has anyone seen this before? This page should be valid HTML 4.01 Strict, and the CSS is valid. Which makes me think a funny quirk I have never seen before is responsible. In the middle of the page in the green box, the list of subsections. When you mouse over them the hand does not change to signify a link. Clicking on the images doesnt not trigger the link, only clicking on the text, even though the link started before the image and ends after the text. It works OK for me in firefox. http://cmc.vanguardia.co.uk/products/section-home.asp?SectionID=6 Any help of shedding some light on the problem would be greatly appreciated. Project nowhere near finished, so dont be too worried about any other problems. -------------------------------- The problem was a span within an link tag that had a width and height declaration. This was to position the text and the image correctly. Current Solution: The current solution is very light on code, but I'm not sure about it, as the page will not benefit from the images and their associated search engine / content value. But that's another argument entirely! It fits ok with accessibility, as really the links are aestetic only. The list object has the dashed border, and the link inside is sized to expand the link to fill the list object. The text has a large amount of padding to push it down the object allowing the image to show through. The image is a background property of the link, written dynamically into some inline CSS. I am fairly happy with the solution, though not completely sold. Any thoughts?

Marc Do you have a URL and/or screenshot to show us what you're trying to achieve?
