Safari sees but does not follow hyperlinks

Asked by toymaker in Safari Web Browser, Programming for ASP.NET

We've built a new website but have run into a problem for our Safari users.  If they go into our public site and click on a link, they don't generally seem to work.  The browser sees the link is there--we get the hand icon and "navigate to suchandsuch" in the status bar--but if you click it, it just stays on the current page.  If I right click and "open link in new window/tab" it does so just fine.  Just when you're trying to do a normal link.

I've tried it on every other browser I can think of--including Lynx, f'cryinoutloud--and haven't encountered this difficulty before.  It just seems odd, as we're creating bog-standard hyperlinks here.  I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Here's an example of what I've got going:Start Free Trial
