I'm using the following styles to create a split title bar:

DIV.title
{
    float:left;
    text-align:left;
    background:none transparent;
    white-space:nowrap;
    z-index:1;
}
DIV.menu
{
    float:right;
    text-align:right;
    background:none transparent;
    white-space:nowrap;
    z-index:3;
} 

The HTML to produce this split title bar is as follows:

<div class='title'>Title</div>
<div class='menu'><a href='somewhere.com'>Somewhere</a></div> 

The code works fine outside of a table, but inside a table (specifically a caption), the hyperlink is blocked such that it cannot be clicked:

<table>
    <caption>                              
        <div class='title'>Title</div>
        <div class='menu'><a
href='somewhere.com'>Somewhere</a></div>
    </caption>
<tr>
    <td>Doo da</td>
    <td>Day</td>
</tr>
</table> 

I've tried forcing the stacking order with z-index and also messed with background properties of the table and caption. Can anyone solve this dilemma? My desire is to maintain using captions...

Thanks,

Just a note that this problem occurs in the CAPTION only. I can get it to work okay in a spanned TD. However, I'd rather use CAPTIONs than spanned TDs.

Also note that the problem is occurring in NN6.2.1 and when I set the -moz-opacity to something less than opaque (100%), I gain access to the hyperlink. Thus, I'm fairly certain that the issue is one of transparency and layers. I don't want to use -moz-opacity since NN6 bogs down miserably with it....

Thanks,

I'm not sure why it isn't working, but the Caption attribute is depreciated.

Why do you want/need to use it?

[CyberN8]

I wanted to use CAPTIONs because it made CSS a bit more cross-functional than trying to use selectors (first-childs, etc.) for TRs.

Furthermore, the CAPTION automatically spans any number of columns, while with using TRs and TDs to create a caption, you must call COLSPAN (is there a CSS wildcard to span all columns? I know there is a CSS attribute to span a specific number...).

I've worked around the issue by making a special class of TR and then by using COLSPAN in the first TD (my PHP script plugs in the correct number of columns to span).

Take care,
