    <p>I'm trying to get a text link to appear on top of a partly-transparent image, which in turn is on top of a plain coloured background. I want the link-text and image to print when the page is printed, but not the coloured background. (Which is why I'm not using the <em>background-image</em> property)</p> <p>The problem is that although the link appears on top of the image, and the image appears on top of the background as desired, the link cannot be clicked. It seems to me that if the link appears on top then it should be susceptible to mouse events... </p> <p>This happens in at least the following browsers: Firefox 6.0 (Windows + Linux), Firefox 3.6 (Windows) and Internet Explorer 7.</p> <p>Please would somebody tell me if this is a problem with my HTML/CSS, or with the browsers? </p> <p>Here is some HTML to demonstrate the problem: </p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Test&lt;/title&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div style="position: relative;z-index: -2; background-color:#333; height:200px;"&gt; &lt;img style="position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;z-index: -1;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png/280px-PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png" alt="Dice" /&gt; &lt;a style="padding:50px; color:#fff;z-index:0;" href="#"&gt;Can you click me?&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Cheers!</p> <p>Alex</p>

    1. COJust in case, note you can use a different CSS for each media (printer, screen), so you could just use a different the image instead of relying on the browser removing the plain background?

    2. COThanks for your comment. Not sure I understand. Without using background-image (which won't print), I don't think it's possible to specify a different 'src' attribute for the <img> just by specifying a different CSS stylesheet? Also, the image needs to be specified in the HTML because it will be added by a WYSIWYG editor by non-technical staff.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
