In this blog, hantudunia.blogspot.com, I tried to click an item on the leftmost "Histeria" tab, but no finger pointer appear, but adjacent item to the right is clickable. When I used Internet Explorer, all items are clickable. Is this Firefox problem?

Hmm... I noticed if I moved the mouse pointer slowly along the bar there were live and dead spots on the left side of the menu. To see what was there, I right-clicked the dead spot and chose Inspect Element (Q) from the menu.

It turns out to be a widget for Google advertising that seems to have a fixed position, so depending on your window size and zoom level, it may block something different. (See attached screen shot).

Traditionally, Internet Explorer lets you click through a transparent element, so that could explain why this is not an issue in IE.

As a temporary workaround, you can use zoom (Ctrl+ and Ctrl-) to move items around in relation to the unclickable area. To attack it more permanently you could use either:

  • A custom style rule (we could help with writing the rule and explaining how to install it)
