"Add To..." not registering clicks

Permalink
I'm stuck on this one - haven't changed my templates in some time, but as I was adding some pages I found that one of my blocks could no longer have content added to it. The name is unique, it's setup like so:

<div id="header-area">
                        <?php 
                        $a = new Area('Header Nav');
                        $a->display($c);
                        ?>
                </div>


Existing pages that have already had content added are not showing any issues, but on new ones the link for "Add to header nav" is not active - I get the gray hover box, I get the outline, but the cursor never turns to a hand, and clicking it has no effect. I don't see this on any other editable areas, and it's across all page types.

Any ideas where to start digging?

Attached is a pic of the div source as well as what the block looks like.

Thanks,

Charles

It could be the search box which is overlayed your menu. Thanks to that search box you can't select anything underneath this 'layer'.

Try to hide/remove the search box to find out if this is the problem.

That was one of my thoughts as well. I made a test page type without that block and still no-go. Then another page type that has the same block but with a different name. Still the same thing.

Then I pulled my main css file out of the way to see if it still happened. That fixed it.

Turns out there was a z-index on that block to try and get the dropdown nav to not disappear behind the stock slideshow block. I must have forced it so far "up" that it was putting whatever I needed to click on behind it.

I need to do some experimenting now to see where else I can set the z-index without disturbing this... How that change slipped my mind, I don't know.

Thanks for the reply though, that got me thinking about "layers"!
