Possible PHP Problem - WP Titles Not Links in Firefox

Please take a look at www.FadMarketing.com. If you look at it in IE, all of the post titles are links to the post (as it should be). If you look at it in Firefox, the very first (feature) post's title is a link, but other post titles below it aren't. Sure, people can just click the "read" link, but that's kind of obnoxious.

Here's the code I have for each title area:

<h3 class="substory_head"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

PHP:

Any thoughts on what I can do to get it working correctly in Firefox?

Thanks.

They seem to be working for me, but if it's a browser issue, I don't see why it would be an issue with PHP since PHP is parsed on the server.

 

They're working for you in Firefox?

 

Yes. Here is a screenshot:

OK I just checked again in firefox, and got something even stranger. When I moused over them this time, they were displaying as links... for about 5 seconds. Then they weren't linked again. Then the bottom one was a link again, but only after I clicked on the text once first, and the two in the middle still aren't. Gosh, I'm so confused! I feel like I've got gremlins in my computer just to drive me nuts sometimes. If it's working for others though, then I'm fine w/ it. I don't care if I have to use the read link, as long as it's not a pain to other people.

 

It appears you're using Flash objects to display the links, which may be causing the discrepancy.

 

Lovely. Thanks for looking into it. If that's the case, and how it simply came in the theme, I'm going to leave it alone for now, unless people end up complaining about having the linking issue themselves.

 

Are you using a plugin to regenerate the titles in flash? That may be causing the issue.

 

Not that I know of, unless it's just worked into the theme itself (Gridlock). I don't have many plugins attached to this one.

 

It seems to be replacing the titles with a flash file to generate smooth helvetica fonts. This is indeed done by the template. Here's the output code:

<h3 class="substory_head sIFR-replaced"><embed style="width: 490px; height: 22px;" class="sIFR-flash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" sifr="true" bgcolor="transparent" wmode="transparent" flashvars="txt= &lt;a href=%22asfunction:_root.launchURL,0%22&gt;FadMarketing Feedback&lt;/a&gt; &amp;textalign=left&amp;offsetTop=0&amp;textcolor=#333333&amp;hovercolor=#186FD0&amp;linkcolor=#333333&amp;w=490&amp;h=22&amp;sifr_url_0=http://fadmarketing.com/fadmarketing-blog/fadmarketing-feedback/" quality="best" src="http://fadmarketing.com/wp-content/themes/gridlock/sifr/helvneue.swf" height="22" width="490"><span class="sIFR-alternate"> <a href="http://fadmarketing.com/fadmarketing-blog/fadmarketing-feedback/">FadMarketing Feedback</a> </span></h3>

I'd look into disabling that feature however you can... there's probably the option in the theme

 

Wonderful... found it and disabled it. Thanks a bunch!

 

No sweat.

Maybe I should start a WordPress Consultation business!
