I assume you mean you want to be able to use the link when the flyout is not flying out. scrollbox establishes the stacking context for all its children, the flyout menu. The testlink can only be placed over or under this stacking context of scrollbox, further or nearer to the user. Basically the problem here is that you have a positioned link and a box that is patched over it. #testLink { position: absolute; left: 100px; top: 100px; } #scroll_box { width: 500px; height: 500px; position:relative; z-index:1;} <body> <div id="testLink"> <a href="#">test this link</a> </div> <div id="scroll_box"> <!----> </div> </body> Should the link work, even if the box is not filled?
