Author Nav link OK in MSIE & Opera but dead in Mozilla/Firefox

I have a page at www.caymanquays.com.au/index.html where the
navigation at the top works fine in MSIEv6 and Opera v7.5 but appears
dead in Mozilla v1.5 and Firefox v1.0.

The external sylesheet gives:
a {
font-family: "Comic Sans MS", Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
color: #004080;
padding-left: 10px;
text-decoration: none;}

a:hover{
color: #ff0000;
}

I have a similar thing at www.check.com.au/index.html and elsewhere
and it works fine there in all 4 browsers.

Can anybody spot what may be causing the problem?

TIA.

Please type (or better still copy/paste) complete URL's.

Perhaps you had better fix the validation errors before
you wonder why parts of a page do not work.

I gave background colors to the divs and found that the links are not
visible in my Netscape 7.2. Moving z-index: 1 to the #pagenav fixed it.
You might want to take a closer look at the basic div layout/positioning.

That fixed it. Many thanks. All I've got to do now is figure out why!
