I can't believe I spent half an hour trying to figure out this bug!
ANYWAYS in your page you use a class definitions of "nav" and in your style 
sheet you use a definition of NAV  ARG!  Its the capitolization.. nothing to do 
with linking or anything (well I figured that out a long time ago). I don't know 
why netscape and maby IE (don't know) allows cap changes? Anyone know if this 
should be allowed?  MABY this is a bug? shrugs

Should capitalization in style sheet classes matter???!!?!?

Setting as new as this is an issue I think needs to be answered

IDs and CLASSes are case-sensitive in HTML as well as in XML (see 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-id). This rule is not 
respected by Nav4x and IE. I tried to emulate it in Quirks mode and gave up 
because it may hurt the performance (see details in bug 35522). I'm marking this 
bug as duplicate but I'm keeping the issue in mind. If we get more complaints we 
may have to support the wrong behavior of the current browsers.

Thanks to johnlar for the investigation.
