Links on a sidebar not clickable

In Firefox 1.5.0.2, try Roosevelt Park or Registration in the sidebar. Doesn't work. Works in Internet Explorer.

I suspect it's a CSS issue, but I'm not sure.

html > body > div #content > p, beginning with "The founder of Taiji" is stretching 100% (like it should, afaik), but it has a higher z-index than the sidebar.

It is ontop of it. I can click Roosevalt, but not park, due to the line break pushing it under the <p>.

I believe setting the z-index of div #sidebar will solve the problem.

Who would have thought... The display:relative is causing all the problems... so I'll use some conditional comments to have it only kick in during Internet Explorer. Setting the z-index is a quick patch... otherwise the next time I want to float something and forgot, the problem will manifest itself again.

Ambush, if I may ask, why are the z-indexes added? And the position:relatives? As far as I can see from a quick look at the current css, they aren't used or needed. (but maybe I don't know everything you are planning to do or there was a specific reason and I can learn something new)

It's all for the nice tabbing (there are a bunch of quirks relating to it). Mostly for Internet Explorer compatibility, actually, so I might want to factor those out too.
