"Add To..." link not working for Area that should allow a Block to be added
Permalink
I've almost finished my first C5 site, and the last page type I have created (for the homepage) seems to have a strange problem that has not occurred before.
The Area I have created to hold the blocks the editor will enter content into shows up in Edit mode, but the link in the dotted area that says in my case "Add To Home Intro" (because the Area is called Home Intro) does not work and no pop up menu appears for me to add a block of any kind.
I am logged in as the super user ID 1, I have Advanced Permissions turned on, but as mentioned, this has not affected any other page block creation.
Cheers.

does the link highlight(grey out)? and can you share a URL with us or a screenshot?
The area in which the "Add To.." link exists does grey out / change background colour when the mouse pointer is in the area, but the pointer stays as a 'text' pointer when over the link, and doesn't turn into the usual 'hand' pointer to illustrate a link.
Don't have a URL I'm afraid :-(

Seems to be an issue with relative positioning of the parent element. The Div that holds the area is positioned relative and when I remove that the link works...
Thing is I need the positioning...perhaps it's a z-index issue with the dynamically added area editing block.

Fixed it.
Parent element to the dynamically added area that will contain the blocks was set to a high z-index to make sure other elements would appear below it from an aesthetic point of view.
I lowered the z-index gradually and the link worked. I could lower it enough to make the link work without ruining the absolute positioned layout layers for the design.

Thanks, I had the same problem. I think it would be better if Concrete5 move up a but higher than z-index=5 so we have some more space to play in. :)
Thaks! I had the same problem - "add to" area went gray, pointer was like text pointer and links not active. Setting z-index from level 21/22 to 1/2 fixed the problem without destroing my page. :)
