HTML doesn't work except in Internet Ex;plorer

Question

I am new to Dreamweaver and have set up the beginnings of a
site, using template and files: www.kojonupworking.com.au
This site shows the top navigation texts in Internet Explorer
but not in Firefox or Netscape and I can't work out why. Can anyone
give me some ideas?

Your #navleft and #mainarea layers are positioned so that
they cover up
the top navigation. You can see this by canging the top
positioning on
each to 300px instead of 200px.
You have a table at the top why not just use a simple 2
column table
inserted beneath it to house your nav and main content?
The problem with using layers is that they are absolutely
positioned and
won't take into account anything that resizes on the page.
#navleft {
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:200px;
width:225px;
background-color:#FFFF99;
layer-background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:1px none #000000;
z-index:4;
height: 650px;
#mainarea {
position:absolute;
left:225px;
top:200px;
width:775px;
height:650px;
background-color:#ffff99;
layer-background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:1px none #000000;
z-index:5;
