Hi all,
I tried registering this as a bug on the scriptaculous site, but it
appears that their bug tracker isn’t working.
Just thought I’d post this problem + solution in case any other poor sap
like me comes across the problem.
Problem: Effect.Appear prevents links from working in firefox when link
is in floated div that is underneath a div in the page that the function
is making appear.
Oof. That was a mouthful.
Here, this’ll make it clearer. I’ve put a test page here to demonstrate:
http://www.benjaminkeen.com/newsite/about/bug.php
I’m not sure if this is a scriptaculous issue or a firefox bug, but if
the latter perhaps there may be a workaround that can be done in the
scriptaculous code.
As described in the test page, the problem can be avoided by using Hope this helps somebody. I wish I could get the last 3 hours of my life
's to mark off the section to appear instead of
back.
