DIV overlapping link

[Ender's {Game}]

So I have a couple tabs hanging down from the top of a page and top-most div has some javascript that makes it slide down to reveal more content once clicked. Problem I'm having, since the content that is revealed is about 200px wide or so, the containing DIV that houses the tab is that wide, as well. Thus overlapping the tab link next to it and this makes it unable to be clicked.

Any suggestions how I can make that containing DIV 'transparent' so to speak, allowing links underneath it to be clicked?

link?


off topic but Ender's Game is a great book!

figured it out, padding was preventing access to link underneath it. removed padding and used margin, works great.
