Image href not working (CSS and HTML)

I haven't dabbled in html or css in a long time so please be gentle.

I'm trying to create a button which links to a website and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm guessing it may be how I'm nesting it but I'm not too sure. I've spent about half a day google-ing potential issues and I've tried what I can so I'm turning to the community for help.

Edit: I've narrowed down the HTML to the problem area so it doesn't confuse everyone. I've tried 4 different ways to make the links and I can't click on any of them (they don't behave as links so I can't debug them).

HEAD/CSS:

<head>
  <style>
     body {
     font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
     font-size:12px;
     display:block;
     margin:0;
     Padding:0;
     background-color:lightslategrey;
     }
     a {
     color:white;
     text-decoration:none;
     }
     /* div {
     display: block;
     } 
     span {
     display: inline-block;
     vertical-align: middle;
     line-height: normal;      
     } */
     ul {
     margin:0px;
     padding:0px;
     }
     .toolbar {
     position: fixed;
     display: inline-block;
     top: 0px;
     left: 0px;
     width: 100%;
     /*height:36px;*/
     background-color: black;
     color: white;
     font-size: 100%;
     text-align: left;
     padding: 5px;
     z-index:100;
     }
     .menu-btn {
     position: relative;
     display: inline-block;
     height: 100%;

     </div>
  </div>
  <div class="content">
     <div class="mytext">
        This is some text.
     </div>
  </div>

I've commented the places I have issues with. I have no problems with the links in the nav, it's just the banner.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

It appears that you have forgotten to add a link tag to options 1 and 2. The tag <a> needs to have the text and image inside it.

 <li>
       <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">
          option2
          <img class="da" src="da.png" width="10px" height="5px">
        </a>
 </li>

The problem is the z-index: -1 you have on the bannerpic. This makes the body overlap the content of bannerpic. :-) Try removing that one line.

.bannerpic {
     position:relative;
     display:inline-block;
     position: relative;
     top:25px;
     margin:0;
     padding:0;
     vertical-align: middle;
     background-color: grey;
     background-image:url("banner.jpg");
     background-position:center;
     background-size: cover;
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
     width:100%;
     height:450px;
     box-shadow: 0 0 65px #000000;
     /* z-index:-1; <-- This */
}
