Mapping links wont work in Opera and IE but do work in Safari.

Question

Hi,
What can I do to fix the code below? The links wont work in IE and Opera, but OK in safari.
The error message is:

<div id="mainContentLeft1b">
<div id="mainContentArticle2">
<h3>Locate Region</h3>
<p>National Contacts</p>

Can we see a URL to your test page where the "links don't work." 
Unfortunately, code fragments don't help us help you.
