You've Just Entered the IE6 Dead Link Zone

A Quick Fix for the dreaded Internet Explorer 6.0 (IE6) Unclickable Links

Every once in awhile I create a website and start testing things in IE6 only to find that my navigation or another links is "unclickable". I know I've Googled this about a zillion times, but to be honest I can't remember the exact problem (I think it might be a box-model positioning error or something like that).

Anyway, I was testing a site today and ran into the problem again, so I thought I would share it with you. The fix is fairly simple, all you need to do is set your CSS position rule to relative in your CSS stylesheet for any links having the problem.

Example CSS

#myNav a { position: relative; }

Pretty simple, huh? So happy coding and let me know if you have any insight into this.
