Areas Not Clickable/Editable

Permalink
Greetings,

I'm a new C5 user, kinda stumped by this problem whereby the links to edit areas are visible but not clickable.

I've seen this problem before and it was generally solved by repositioning elements in the head, jQuery loading twice, etc, but not this time; there's nothing in the head except the Loader class call and a link to a stylesheet. Viz:

<?php Loader::element('header_required'); ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/css/styles.css">

Even stranger, if I remove the css line, the problem goes away.

Repositioning the stylesheet line to the top does not work (didn't expect it would, didn't hurt to try).

Halp?

Thanks much in advance,
Jason

Hey Jason,

Did you ever figure out the issue you were having here? I am having the exact same issue and don't know how to fix it. I assume there is a problem with my CSS, but I got the theme from online and am not sure how to fix it.

Thanks,
Ashley

Well this thread is kind of old but I had the same problem twice, the first time it was an javascript issue (loaded my own *.js file in the header while c5 loads his own), the second time css was at fault, so I will write how I fixed it in my site - maybe it helps someone with a similar problem who stumbled upon this thread as I did ;-)
In my case the problem was z-index, the element had an z-index of 50 and so it was above the grey hover box which lets you access the menue.
I set z-index to 2, the hover box seems to have a higher z-index so editing worked again and I kept the functiality of the z-index-element.

Hopes it helps someone :-)
