PHP dumb question...

You have a lot of errors in your css code.

Code:

.leftnavlink ul
{
float:left;
width:100%;
[COLOR="Red"]padding:0;[/COLOR] change to padding:0px;
[COLOR="Red"]margin:0;[/COLOR] change to margin:0px;
list-style-type:none;
}
.leftnavlink a
{
float:left;
[COLOR="#ff0000"]width:12 em;[/COLOR] change to width:12em;
text-decoration:none;
[COLOR="#ff0000"]color:00688B;[/COLOR]color:#00688B;
[COLOR="#ff0000"]background-color:none[/COLOR] change to background-color:none;
[COLOR="#ff0000"]padding:none;[/COLOR] change to padding:0px;
font:arial;
}
.leftnavlink a:hover 
{
[COLOR="#ff0000"]background-color:#8DB6CD[/COLOR] change to background-color:#8DB6CD[COLOR="Red"];[/COLOR]
}
li {[COLOR="#ff0000"]display:inline[/COLOR]}change to display:inline[COLOR="Red"];[/COLOR]
