I am using Css3 effects to make my menu look fancier , no issues with that however , I dont know for some strange reasons , when I click on the menu items , they dont redirect to desired pages ie my href="abc.aspx" wont work in Firefox , Opera , but works well in Chrome.Here is the Css3 code which I use
#Menu a:active,
#Menu a.active:before,#Menu a:hover:before
{
Content: ' ';
position:absolute;
z-index:-1;
width:0px;
height:0px;
left:50%;
top:50%;
border-radius:50%;
box-shadow:0 0 35px 30px #ADD7E7;
}
My menu looks something
However when I remove that Css3 styling , the href works.Can anybody help me out with this as to why this happens.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
The problem may stem from styling #Menu a:active
together with the pseudo elements. Try separating them or even just remove #Menu a:active
from the definition altogether. Then you can set your z-index
back to -1
as it will only be being applied to the pseudo element.
I've set up a jsfiddle here.
It is most likely because of this line in your css:
z-index:-1;
The default layer is 0
of the document but since on hover you are setting it to -1
, you won't be able to click on it.
The z-index:-1
places the element behind the body. As such, it can't be clicked because the body is obscuring it.
This is however a little ambiguous if you haven't defined a background colour for the body, as transparent background colours may not catch clicks.
Avoid negative z-indices. They can go pretty much as high as you want in the positive numbers, more reliably then negative.
