[Javascript] [RESOLVED BUT NOT UNDERSTOOD] Anchor tags not working

[Fraser Baker]

Changing the order in which the DIVs are loaded impacts the functionality of
the ANCHOR tags. By juggling the order, I was able to get all the anchors
working. Makes me nervous though. Any insight into what is going on?

Fraser,

Ironically, the link appears to be active in Firefox but not in
IE.  (Ironic because your software recommends that the user view the
site in IE.)

Debugging this problem amid your very complex web application is
daunting.  What I'd do if I were you is start stripping elements from
your page until the problem is easier to isolate.

I've noticed in the past that anchors can be disabled in IE in
certain circumstances if their CSS positioning is left static.  You
can remedy this by applying {position: relative} to the anchor or its
container.  See my comments in the CSS on this page:

Good luck,
Paul
