Paltry PRD pet peeve: "PRD Home" is only partially linked


Website Feedback


(This is a pretty minor quibble, but I'll just toss it out there.)

On every page of the PRD, in the upper right corner there is a linked path showing what page you're visting. E.g., for the Feats page, it says

Quote:
PRD Home > Feats

at the top of the page, and "PRD Home" and "Feats" are links to the appropriate pages.

Well, that's not quite correct on my browser (Internet Explorer 7 on a PC); in fact, it looks like "PRD H" is not part of the hyperlink (even though it's underlined) -- I can only follow the URL if I click on "ome".

Any idea what might be causing this behaviour?

That's very strange: The HTML for that link couldn't be simpler. It's just <a href="index.html">PRD Home</a>.

It wouldn't be the first inexplicably weird thing to happen on IE, though.

A thought: Is it possible that the graphical elements to the left of the link are overlapping it? What happens if you widen your window?

I can confirm this in IE7 on XP Workstation also.

If I widen the window, it doesn't change the positioning of "PRD Home" relative to the neighbouring GIF. So it could be an overlapping problem, but widening the browser window didn't help.

I think I've noticed similar behaviour (i.e. not every part of "PRD Home" is clickable) using Chrome on my PC at home, but I'll have to check.

EDIT: As a test, I right-clicked on the word "PRD" and selected "Save Picture As..." Apparently, it's overlapped by the graphic "headerBackdrop.PNG".


The link works fine in IE8 on regular XP, so it might be an IE7 issue.

I've confirmed that this is due to overlapping elements. I'll see what can be done to correct it.

I tested in latest Chrome and FF and neither have the same issue.

Yeah, I just tried Chrome, and I must have been misremembering. It works fine.


I have a problem with the PRD. If this isn't the right place please remove post.

Most of the time when I try to view the PRD in Firefox using Windows 7 I cannot connect to it. This is the message I get:

Firefox can't find the file at http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/.
Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

Just wanted someone to know.

That's the right address, so it's something on your end. You might try resetting your browser's caches and such.


Thanks Vic. I went through and deleted all add-ons and extensions, then reloaded Firefox. It seems to be working better now. I can actually get to the PRD.
