Please, *please* do something about your mail client or whatever it is
that makes your messages so garbled. They're frequently formatted with
few if any newlines, and are consequently almost impossible to
read--especially the code portions, see above.

Run your pages through the w3c's html validator, and fix the reported
problems, and I think you will find many of your problems disappear.

In your source code examples above, for example, you have links (<a
href="...">) as children of an unordered list (<ul>). This is
incorrect HTML, and the error-handling routines that browsers resort
to when they encounter such malformed HTML are unpredictable. I
suspect if you either (a) remove the <ul> wrap, or (b) enclose the
links in list items (<li>)--in other words if you correct the
HTML--that this particular problem will go away.
