I have designed a simple website for my cousin. The code is validated html, the css is also validated, however, for some reason I can't figure out, none of the hyperlinks work when the site is viewed in internet explorer. Works perfectly fine in firefox and safari. To view the website: www.carolweisbergburgess.com
here is the basic code that repeats on each page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title>Carol Burgess</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/front.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Carol Weisberg Burgess</h1>
<div id="expl">
<ul>
<li><a href="pages/contact.html" >contact</a></li>
<li><a href="pages/bio.html" >bio</a></li>
<li><a href="index.html" >paintings</a></li>

<li><a href="pages/adfgallery.html">watercolors I</a></li>
<li><a href="pages/carolinagallery.html">watercolors II</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="next">
<p><a href="pages/image10.html" ><img src="images/backgroundprevious.jpg" alt= "previous" /></a></p>
<p><a href="pages/image2.html" ><img src="images/backgroundnext.jpg" alt= "next" /></a></p></div>
</div>
<div id="images">

<p><img src="images1/1.jpg" alt= "drum" />
</p>
<p>In the Mood, oil on canvas 36"x36"</p>
</div>
<div id="back">
</div>
</body>
</html>
and here is the css:
