You're trying to comment out CSS style rules by adding a #, which is
illegal and would make more confusion if browsers interpert it as ID
style-hookers! If you want to comment out a syle rule or one of its
declarations do it in the form:
/* property: value; */
In particular you have this in your CSS:
#nav_map .current a { display:block; height:20px; float:left;
#background:#fff; padding:0 10px 0 10px; text-decoration:none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: .85em;
font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: none; line-height:20px; letter-spacing: .10em;
white-space:nowrap; #border-right:1px solid #fff; color: #fff;}
Such code is really problematic and before you clean it up, I really
can't help to figure out where the real problem lies.
