CSS Floating trouble - css

Hi
I have this really strange error....
I have two elements: paragraph and a link with an image inside of it.
Paragraph overlaps the link this results in that the link becomes ineffective...
How fix this?
Thanks in advance ;)
EDIT: Instead I will give you a link to mi site : http://e-skaitykla.lt/ . Try the posts images are the links and I can press them only in Opera.
FIX: There was misunderstanding in positioning types. P was set to have relative positioning. When I added the same thing to A tag all fixed
Thanks everybody who tried to help ;)

Absent actual code, I'd guess that you're either positioning the paragraph and the link absolutely or you're floating stuff inside the paragraph and the browser isn't correctly calculating the dimensions of the elements. Strip off any CSS and add declarations back one at a time to debug.

Z-index issue in mozila firefox, in a css only page

I know this has been asked many times, and I have been searching for the answer in a lot of places but I can't seem to fix my code. Thank you for reading this because I'm going crazy here! First I had a different z-index problem with safari, than another with explorer, but now the z-index problem I'm having with mozila I can't fix in any way. I code in chrome, where it seems to work perfectly (for me it seems at least!)
I believe now it works more or less fine in most browsers but not on mozila. The idea of the page is to make (only with CSS because that's the only language supported by the website) a flipping book of several pages. I see some examples around of CSS only flipping cards (only one page), but not a book of more than one page. So I essentially overlap several "cards", in order to give this effect. You can see the demo from codepen here: pkrein/pen/qBOewem
Btw I do know this code is not as clean as it could be, but that's the way I figured to make a fuction like that works only with CSS, and I hope it will make sense for you.
Ok, so the matter is, the content inside the book pages is not "scrollable" on firefox. I guess this is indeed a z-index problem, because when I move any page outside the book, that is, from behind the rest of the content, it scrolls fine.
Let me know if I can give any more info that could help you understand my issue!
I figured a possible solution for this. It's not quite the solution for the problem itself but it's something that can make what I want to do work.
The problem was: (what I had to remove in order to make it work):
(1) The div #content-holder holding all the text inside the flap
(2) The div .preparation-text inside the .preparation (that's the text I want to scroll). That was a scrolling div (.preparation) inside a non-scrolling div (.preparation-text). I always add a scrolling div inside a non-scrolling div in order to hide the scrollbar, by adding a high padding-right to the inside div. I know I can use code to hide the scrollbar but it do not work in all browsers.
How I fixed:
(1) I just removed the #content-holedr divs, since it was not strictly necessary.
(2) I removed the .preparation-text and transformed .preparation into a scrolling div. Then I just covered the scrollbar with an image of the same size and colors as the background (a print of the layout).

YUI CSS template class .yui-t7 gap at top of page

Hoping someone who is familiar with YUI's CSS templates can help me debug a CSS problem. I'm using a free html resume template I found on the net, and I want to print it on paper via the browser's print function. I am not publishing this on the web. My problem is that there's about a 75-pixel gap between the top of the first div and the browser's display area that I can't figure out how to get rid of. Looking at the image below, there is a red arrow that points it out.
YUI CSS gap between top of screen and div
The template can be found hosted at this location.
What I've done:
Open the element inspector in the browser. Looks like the gap is between the <body> and first <div>.
Downloaded the YUI CSS file to look at. Checked out all the div selectors, nothing interesting.
Looked at the .yui-t7 class, nothing interesting there either.
My suspicion is that some of the float and clear are adding up and causing the space, but this is outside my expertise.
I was looking for height values or padding that would clue me in on how to change it, but honestly I don't see heights anywhere in either css file. I admit that I am not strong in CSS at all. I'm open to other solutions too, just enough to get the thing printed so I can send it out!
This BR Adds a little space
The margin on this div adds the rest of the space

z-index and CSS issues

How do I set a specific section of a page (div section?) to be on top of another section? I tried adding a z-index on the CSS file but it's not working. Or maybe I'm adjusting the wrong CSS file. In the end, I am confronted with:
--- which CSS file do I adjust? (I'm using Firebug but now I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly
--- what exact code adjustments do I need to do?
This is a sample page: http://www.criminal-lawyers.com.au/offences/aggravated-assault. The testimonial box to the lower right part of the page gets covered by the brown area when you scroll down. The goal is to put it on top so it's not covered whenever you scroll down (I know I should better position it "absolute" instead, but that's not the goal).
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
Finally had it solved! Many thanks to all your comments below. Although some answers did not exactly solve the problem, there were concepts behind them that really helped.
You need to set z-index:21 on the div with id it_widget_content-11-background-wrapper which is the main container of the sidebar widget. That should solve the issue.
it's pretty simple, to this widget-background-wrapper sidebar-widget-2 add z-index:9999. sorry i would rather comment this, but reputation < 50.
Remove position:fixed on the classes
CSS file - wp-content/themes/Criminal-Lawyers-it/style.css
sidebar-widget-1
and
sidebar-widget-2
They will remain in place.
Just realised it may not be exactly how you want it to look :) However, even with correct z-index, it may look weird having them overlap the footer...

Unable to get navigation bar inline with logo

I'm trying to get my navigation bar on my html page inline with my logo however it wont budge. I assume its because its following the flow of the html page, I dont really want to use absolute positioning, i did try and use the 'left' and 'top' properties in css however it didnt like it. Please could you advise where I'm going wrong?
Please see example here:demo of problem
P.s. The red was just to help me see what was going on.
There are quite a few errors with your HTML structure, some unclosed tags, and odd placement of elements. I have reworked the code for you to see an example that works for modern browsers. It's not the cleanest code but it should get you on the right path. http://jsfiddle.net/Lj9yn/18/

<a> tags not clickable in Internet Explorer 7 - why?

I've got myself multiple a tags floating on a page.
They have been styled in a unique way to center an image horizontally inside it, using a span and css. The a tag itself has fixed width and height.
I thought this was basic stuff, and my theme was causing the issue, but I've created a stripped down jsFiddle and I'm still getting the same problem when running the jsFiddle in IE 7.
The a tags are all click-able in every browser apart from IE7, why is this happening?
Can anyone explain? Thanks.
http://jsfiddle.net/motocomdigital/Qk9tu/6/ - Test click-able state in IE7, works fine everywhere else.
Don't worry about IE 6 - I'm not coding for this anymore.
On IE, a link element (<a></a>) with an empty attribute href doesn't display a link-cursor (hand).
Either put a # in your href attributes or add a cursor:pointer on a.home-module
It's the spans inside the a that cause the trouble...
You can achieve what you are trying to do with just CSS, but it requires a slightly different layout in your HTML and some extra CSS.
JSFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/8E8um/2/
Note
In a.home-module I have added a transparent image. This is because IE7 will not assign an "empty" parameter (due to the negative text-indent) to the top level and would therefore still leave the link unclickable.
you should assign "#" to href attribute.
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/Qk9tu/5/
