A href links not clickable or highlightable - html

Question

I'm not completely sure as to why my a href links aren't working...At one point in time it was working, I did some research on the Z-Index but that doesn't seem to be the problem, nor do I have an overlapping div.
Please visit the JSFIDDLE.NET for the demo.
<nav class="navbar-default">
<div class="util-bar-content">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1"> <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> <span class="icon-bar"></span> </button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img src="images/util-bar-logo.png" /></a> </div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-left">
<li>
<p style="margin-top: 6px; max-height: 36px;">1(800) 000 - 0000</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Services</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Here's the CSS
.navbar-nav > li > a, .navbar-brand {
padding-top: 8px !important;
padding-bottom: 0 !important;
height: 36px;
}.navbar-brand {
padding-top: 0px !important;
padding-bottom: 0 !important;
height: 36px;
}.navbar {
min-height: 36px !important;
}
I'm using the BootStrap Framework.

Change your give your links a class of link and then set that class to have a z-index of 9999;
Example:
<li>
<a class="links" href="#">About</a>
</li>
.links {
z-index:9999;
}
