Hi there,

I have a problem that is most probably laughable but I am very beginner level still!!

I have joined one of these 'affilliate links' to sell products through my links page. When I was approved I was sent some banners to choose with an HTML code.

I went to the 'HTML Tool' in VSD and made a small box. I entered the code and it all seemed to work fine. However, when I went to check it the banner is not actually acting as a link to the page. I am sure it's supposed to!

I would greatly appreciate some help.

The link I am talking about can be found here...

I don't know if I am supposed to add anything else in VSD?

It looks like you have two banners in there on top of each other.



This one (above) should show a banner and function as a link. As to this one:



I think you can get rid of this part and see what happens.

Oh cool. Thanks for that. I will try it when I get home (I'm at work) and let you know how it goes....

I'm not sure how you would fix this in VSD. Have you tried deleting the entire banner image link and the box you created for it, and then recreating a box and inserting the banner code? That might be the easiest solution (perhaps the only solution with VSD).

The problem that you are facing here is one of stacking order for different page elements. If you have a link on the page and then you have something positioned on top of that link, you won't be able to click the link because the mouse can only click on the top-most "layer" or element. It doesn't "see" links or anything else beneath the top level.

The following CSS info may make your eyes glaze. If so, try the suggestion in the first paragraph.

What you have is banner code within div.Object16655 (the small box you made to insert the html into). It has a z-index of 9.

You also have div.Object16657 which has a z-index of 11.

They both have the same positioned parent element, so whichever one has the higher z-index ends up on top of the other as far as the mouse is concerned. So, if you can change the z-index of banner Object16655 to 12 or higher, your banner link will be clickable.

Alternately, you can remove the content that is extending over the banner, specifically, a bunch of blank lines produced by repeating break tags (<br>).

If VSD doesn't allow you to do these, then use the suggestion in the first paragraph, and hopefully the new banner will be given a high enough z-index.

Wow!! That is full on!!

Thanks very much, I semi understand what ou are saying. I think it will be ok when I am actually trying it. Thanks very much.
