That happens more often when one of the required css files is not found.
In your case, you are linking to
'http://skylight.web1.heliocell.com/niftyCorners.css' (from within  
your script[1]),
but that file returns a 404not found.

The IIS 404 file has some css into it, although its content type is  
text/html
Opera and Safari interpret the file nonetheless and apply the  
stylerules in that 404 page to the real html page, hence: red links  
and smaller type on your heading and who knows what more.
Yes it is a bug in those UA. That is what you get when a UA accept  
whatever content-type one throws at it and try to interpret it.
Gecko based browsers simply ignore that missing file completely.
