I have a very strange problem with Mozilla/Firefox and hope that somebody can help me.
I am using a special JavaScript component that enables a special scroller (it looks totally different than the standard scroller) on the website.
I can't explain the component in detail now... it is very complex and contains many hundred lines of JavaScript code.
The scroller works fine with Mozilla/Firefox... except of one problem: if I have a link (a normal "href" link to a website or to an e-mail) inside an area that is scrollable, the user can not click on the link.
The text of the link appears... but you can not click on it. In Internet Explorer it works fine... but in Mozilla/Firefox not. :(
Opera 8.0 has the same problem.
What may be the reason for this problem?
Any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions and hints!

It does sound like an issue with the script. As you say, if it is complex it may be hard for us to pull apart here. And at any rate, it woud probably be more apprpriate in our Javascript Forum [webmasterworld.com]
As is often the case with Microsoft, IE uses their own proprietary form of ecmascript called jscript. That's not just a cute nickname, it is different from javascript - a Netscape name for their original flavor of what is, today, generically known as ecmascript.
It could be as simple as the need for an escaped character somewhere - something that jscript may have a built-in error recovery routine for. If you examine your script in the area where the link is inserted, you may at least find a clue.
