It works well in Firefox, if you change lines like
a:hover { color: "red"; cursor: hand; font-family: none;
text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-style: none}
to
a:hover { color: red; cursor: hand; font-family: none;
text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-style: none}
I belive this is the correct form (have a look at CSS specifications
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ ) and it works fine for me.
