    Posted here with a clear title.

    Hello friends,
    I need a big favor,

    I am using following div tags and adsense manager to display my adsense ads in wordpress,

    (div style="float:right;")
    Adsense
    (/div)

    I Changed the bracket type to display here in this forum.

    But I noticed when i visit the site, only the first ad in the block is clickable. This is weird. but in internet explorer this works without any problems. In firefox and Opera the problem occurs.Can someone please tell me what is wrong?

    You can see this at www.antharjalaya.com

    Thank you...

    P.S
    You do not have to click on the ads to see whether they are working. When You move the mouse point to the second and third ad in the ad block it is not changing to a hyperlink. That is my problem. I want to make sure that no one consider this as a cheap attempt to get more clicks.

    You have enough javascript in this page to choke a horse. I do not know where the problem is, but my Error Console spit out too many errors to list.

    There seems to be a problem with your page NOT being valid XHMTL, which could be why those links are not appearing correctly. Another user here at DP was experiencing the same problem, as his ads were not showing up at all in FF.

    Try changing your DocType to Html 4.01 Transitional (look it up, I do not have the exact line handy). That may allow the ads to display correctly in FF, but not really solve your problem.

    Another avenue to go, is to get back to the author of this theme at http://www.drweb.de/ and see what he/she says. May want to ask why and the hell he/she put an XHTML validation link on the page when it is no where close to being valid (over 150 errors).

    Did you try changing the DocType to see if that fixed the problem in FF?

    Seems to me, the author of the theme should be questioned also. Go to http://deanjrobinson.com/projects/redoable/ and try to contact Dean Robinson. He may have the answer for you, since he wrote the thing.

    And I am still wondering why he put the XHTML validation link in the bottom of the page, when its not even close.

    Just contacted him as advised by you. If I do not get a solution I will change the ad placements since there are no problems when I remove the div tags.

    But I hate to change the placements...

    Just out of curiosity, try giving the div's a class name and move the styling into your stylesheet.
