Q: 

Why can't I click on this link with a nested image in IE7?

Open the following page in IE7 and try clicking on the image within the category boxes:

http://www.southwestmedical.com/category/Diagnostic-Products/354

As far as I can tell, I'm not doing anything outside of the scope of (X)HTML/CSS, why am I not able to click these?

A: 

This seems to be a known phenomenon:

giving the img a float: left as well might help, and should cause no change in layout.

Adding a float: left; did not help. Nor did any of the other CSS tricks mentioned in the link. The javascript trick did, but this seems like a dirty hack and I'd rather not use it.

A: 

The problem was the display: block on the span surrounding the img. Removed that and tweaked the styles to make it look the same and all is good now.
