OK, three things:

1) Peter Williams had it right when he said your table width should be
absolute or non-existent.  I prefer the latter.  You can't specify a
percentage because as he said, as the browser resizes the table will
stretch and the graphics will come apart.

2) You need to comment out your CSS within your style tags for older
browsers' sake.  Or, use an external style sheet, which is preferable
for multiple pages, if you do indeed have multiple pages using the same
style.

3) The solution to the problem at hand: the order of inheritance in your
style sheet is such that the specialized a:link, a:hover, and a:visited
are overridden by the "normal" ones.  That is to say you need to switch
the order that they appear in order for the alternate coloring to
properly show up.  Put the *navbar rules last and everything should work
as desired after you've made the other changes I indicated.
