    Ok in fire fox all my links work. But in Iexplorer all my links work until you click on gallery. On the gallery page only the contact us link works and vice versa. You cannot click on home or anyother links. Your stuck. But in firefox everything is fine. Whats going on. Im using dreamweaver.

    Can you provide a link to the page? You may have a depth sorting error which can be fixed by giving the links a relative position and a z-index.

    I am also having a problem with Internet Explorer. My header displays incorrectly in IE 6 or 7 but fine in Firefox.

    SystemRebels.com. In IE, the title and the login button drops down over the content until you wave your mouse over it for a little bit.

    I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me identify my problem.

    Without seeing the code, we can only guess. So, here's my guess: Since you're using DW, I suspect lots of absolute positioning. From that, I'll guess that there is an overlap that masks the links. IE handles z-indices very poorly; getting them in the wrong order quite often.

    cheers,

    BLieve, if you can start a new thread, I'll be more than happy to take a look at your site for you. I'm asking this because I don't wish to clutter the OP's thread with the answer to someone else's problem without his/her permission. :)

    I figured out what was wrong. If you use "mark of the web" you must use it for all your pages. I only used it for two pages, and those two were the ones screwing up. So i put mark of the web on all the pages and it was fine.

    Yea it's under the command tab. It's used to avoid active X blockage and other stuff when you put flash on your site.

    Sounds like another good reason to stay clear of DW and its silliness.

    cheers,

    I think this has to do with some CSS problem, or the document type you are using for your pages.

    But we can't tell for certain without seeing the code. :)
