OK. This is doing my head in. Why are the links on this (trial) site not working?

All I’ve done is create graphic boxes with text inside. Made the links to the different pages and then aligned them so they were touching. The links didn’t work! So I’ve nudged the boxes away from each other and the links still don’t work.

Any help would be wonderful

Quick thought - have you any items overlapping and in front of the  
menu (even if transparent)? If so make sure all your little boxes are  
brought to the top.  
I did notice the very top of the Home button works.

Hi Mark,

It looks like you have links applied to both the text inside the items  
and the items themselves. Selecting graphic text and applying a link  
creates an image map around the text and applies a link to it, this  
will be sitting over the item that also has a different link applied.  
Try selecting the text and removing the links and it should all work.

Thanks

You’re probably right - don’t know how that happened! I seem to have sorted it out anyway.

Cheers

Mark
