Links disabled in html

I've been working on a revamp of the charity site I'm the webmaster for, heroinitiative.org. It is located here: http://www.heroinitiative.org/revamp/default.html (and no it's not live code, it sits alongside the live site just so I can show progress to my boss, it's not really important to keep it under wraps, which is why I can post it here)

My problem: For some reason all links in the footer (from id "bodyfooter" on down, including anything I put below the "Partners/Thanks" footer) have been disabled. I don't know why this is happening as I've thoroughly reviewed the code.

It happens in: Firefox 3.6.8 Chrome 5.0.375.127 & 6.0.472.53 (just upgraded as I typed this)

but not in: IE 8.0.7600.16385 (or in it's compatibility mode)

+2 A:

you have a z-index:-1 on #bodyfooter. main.css line 182

remove this or change it to 0.

Ah yeah...that did it. Guess I need to find a different way to get the footer wrap to show. edit: ok, I figured out a different way.

Your page takes a long time to display in Safari on my Mac.

Whenever I have a page that does not render as I expect, I run it through the W3C Markup Validation Service.

Try fixing the errors displayed here:

Yeah I did that already, I started with 35 errors on it and took it down to what it is now. All the endif errors are due to the conditional css code for IE. I have no idea on the Byte-Order Mark...my first guess would be an invalid character but I have no idea how to find it.

I'd expect any decent editor to be able to display the BOM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark

Using MS Expression Web 3...and I did find the option to add a BOM...it's under Page Editor Options->Authoring. This was enabled for most of the file types they listed, so I just disabled them.
