The following code works in other browsers but not FF, and it stopped working in FF probably around version 14 or so (when I first noticed). \ = angle bracket 

<div style="float:left;width:350px;">
<a href="index.html"><img src="red.jpg" alt="red" width="349" height="100" align="left" border="0"></a>
</div>

<div style="position:relative;top:20px;">
<h2 align="center">Text Moved to Right<br>
to test anchor link</h2>
</div>

If you mouse over the red box image area, the anchor only works at the top and bottom margin of the image. If you remove the second <div>, the anchor element works ok. This works with other browsers I've tried, just not with FF.

I tried setting display:block for the <img> element to no avail. Maybe something changed in the browser's main rendering engine that's now causing this.

Thanks.

You may need a clear div because you have floating content.

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
