I am redesigning a home page with inline divs. When I paste in a div - containing text and a couple of images - the text and image links work fine until I set the float to left. And then the links don’t work.

Are these images rectangular, or have you applied any corner effects
to them by chance?

No corner effects. The divs work fine as layers and when pasted inline. But not when float left is applied.
The new page is a variation on this…
http://dairydiary.co.uk/dairy-cookbooks.html
which works fine. I don’t understand what I have done differently.

Can you post the bad page temporarily? I can tell more from the HTML
than anything else. When you do, please be sure that the More Readable
setting is chosen in the Output pane of the Document Setup dialog.

Okay, and which are the bad links? The add to basket graphics?

Hi Graham,
It looks like the div called “item12” is covering most of the page and covering the links. See if you can shuffle this to the back or rework the layout to avoid this layout.
Regards,
Tim.

Figure out what is item12 in your layout. It’s a very large HTML box,
it’s positioned above the elements that contain the links, and it’s
trapping all clicks on the lower part of your page. This doesn’t have
much to do with floats per se.

Brilliant! Thanks so much.
The reason I couldn’t sort this is because item12 is just the div containing: “There’s a fabulous selection of recipes available on our blog. Here’s a taster…”, the recipe images and titles - towards the base of the page.
How it was covering most of the page is a mystery! However, I have given it a float left and a definite height.
Thanks again. Don’t think I would have solved this on my own.

Here’s what Tim and I both did when presented with your page and the
identity of one of the missing links:
Control-click the element in question, and select Inspect Element from
the contextual menu. (We’ve both got the Develop menu enabled in
Safari – it’s in the preferences – so we see that option.)
That opens a little window or pane showing the rendered HTML at that
point, but more importantly, highlights the chosen element in blue on
the visible page. In your case, we saw that most of the page was blue.

The Web Inspector is a great debugging tool and well worth working with to track down errors in your pages.
Here’s a very brief overview;
http://www.softpress.com/kb/questions/242/Taking+a+closer+look+at+your+web+site+with+Safari’s+Web+inspector
Another tool I use quite a lot is something I wrote to test and debug errant web pages called ‘Download and Set Base’;
http://www.freewayactions.com/tools/download-and-set-base/
This is a simple PHP powered form that grabs (curls) the specified web page, sets a tag (so that the page can use all of the images and scripts directly from the server) and then forces the file to download. The upshot of all of this is that I can open the downloaded HTML page in a text editor and start to tinker with the code knowing that when I preview it locally it will render as if it were on the server still.
There is even a bookmarklet on that page (dear it to your bookmarks bar in your browser) so you can download any page you are looking at simply by clicking on the link.
Regards,
Tim.
