Why does Firefox 8 create such a small hit spot or active space on my social media buttons at top of this site: http://bit.ly/wWjZxy

In Internet Explorer 9, the social media buttons at the top of my draft site have a full button-sized active area upon which to click.

When you look at the very same site and buttons on Firefox, your mouse is able to click on the buttons only in a small area in the upper left of each button.

How do I get Firefox to make the entire button a hit spot or active area?

Client insists that the buttons' look-and-feel is the same on internet explorer and Firefox....

That is because the DIV .item-page is covering the lower part of the buttons.

A style rule like this will make the buttons clickable:

div.item-page { clear:both; }

Hi cor-el. Thanks - When I view the Page Source, I see the DIV to which you refer. However, I'm still stuck because that line appears to be dynamically generated by Joomla.

I can't figure out what exactly to modify in CSS since that class doesn't appear. (Css can be viewed here.)

I can't modify the index.php because that DIV isn't in it.

So how exactly, or where, do I make this change or add the style rule? Sorry to appear so thick-headed...!

I'm not familiar with Joomla templates, so best may to get some advice elsewhere to see if they know a way to solve this.

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.
