links below the 'administration' module don't work. looks like there may be some busted html in that block or something.

links do work in FF, just not in IE

I'm leaving the priority as "normal", but should it be marked "critical"?

Breakage is weird. I have links work in IE at times and not. If I have the browser open large enough then sometimes they work.

Web pages with links that don't work...
This is very much a problem which should be critical!

Steven Peck asked that I post the detailed info here that I had previously posted at http://drupal.org/node/56057#comment-107165

So, I cut and pasted the info. Here goes.

Thanks,

I'm using IE 6.0 and YES, I'm having problems with the links, as in they're not there or at least not enabled the way they should be. The only current work-around, and a very tedious one at that, is to tab one's way through the couple hundred modules and click "Enter" on the chosen one. ARRRR!

If I go to http://drupal.org/project/Modules, 4.6.x, "browse by name", and scroll down to the "Advogato import" module and then roll my mouse over the module's name, "Download", "Find out more", and "Bugs and feature requests", nothing happens because the links aren't there. The links for "AdSense", the module directly above "Advogato import", work as expected and one can roll one's mouse over its links, click on them, and obtain the expected result, i.e. the download begins after clicking "Download".

If I go to http://drupal.org/project/Modules, 4.7.x, "browse by name", and scroll down to the "Block Bar" module and then roll my mouse over the module's name, "Download", "Find out more", and "Bugs and feature requests", nothing happens because the links aren't there. The links for "Bio", the module directly above "Block Bar", work as expected and one can roll one's mouse over its links, click on them, and obtain the expected result, i.e. the download begins after clicking "Download".

If I go to http://drupal.org/node/18317 and scroll down to "#9 submitted by killes@www.drop.org on March 27, 2006 - 14:22 new", I am able to click on killes' link that takes me to his user page. However, if I go down to #10 where moshe submitted a comment, I can NOT click on moshe's name nor any links below it.

In addition, shortly after the site upgrade, I thought the "Preview comment" and the "Post comment" buttons for the forums at drupal.org were not working either. Turns out that the respective buttons' clickable area are VERY small. One needs to run one's mouse over the entire button to "find" the link to then be able to click it. Otherwise, one can have one's mouse within the "Preview comment" button but yet nothing happens. One has to play around with one's mouse to actually "scroll" over the button's associated link. Does this make sense? :) It's as if someone decreased the pixel area for the "Preview comment" and the "Post comment" buttons to a very small area of just a few pixels instead of the full size of the button and what it should be for easy clicking. Hence, it can appear to some users that the buttons are not "live" links. HOWEVER, sometimes the "Preview comment' and "Post comment" buttons do NOT work at all...as in right now where I'm clicking any area of the "Post comment" field and nothing is happening. Seems to be hit or miss. I actually had to "tab" over to the "Post comment" button to post this.

Oh, I also noticed that the last module, Xstatistics, seems to, at least on my browser for both the 4.6.x and 4.7.x modules, be missing the last part of its writeup and there aren't even any words such as ""Download", "Find out more", and "Bugs and feature requests". I think the bottom text got cut off.
