CSS classes don't work on anchor element

http://www.town.pelham.on.ca/clerk.htm     uses a navbar
at bottom of page to return to any major department of the corporation.
and its class is nav ----  however the text color shows as white
unless hovered (yellow).  the display works fine in msie, netscape, mozilla
kmeleon, etc etc ... and style and page both verify ??  What fails ?
also the class called dark doesnt work but does everywhere else. 

fraction of my stylesheet:
/* sidebar navigation links */
a:link {color:white; background:transparent; text-decoration:none;
        font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:12pt}
a:active {color:white; background:transparent; text-decoration:none;
          font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:12pt}
a:visited {color:white; background:transparent; text-decoration:none;
        font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:12pt}
a:hover {color:#ffdc0c; background:transparent; text-decoration:none;
        font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:12pt}

/* ordinary navigation links */
a.dark:link {color:navy; background:transparent; font-weight:bold}
a.dark:active {color:navy; background:transparent; font-weight:bold}
a.dark:visited {color:navy; background:transparent; font-weight:bold}
a.dark:hover {color:red; background:transparent; font-weight:bold; text-
decoration:none}

/* page bottom navigation links */
a.nav {color:navy; background:transparent; font-size:8pt}
a.nav:link {color:navy; background:transparent; font-size:8pt}
a.nav:active {color:navy; background:transparent; font-size:8pt}
a.nav:visited {color:navy; background:transparent; font-size:8pt}
a.nav:hover {color:red; background:transparent; text-decoration:none;
        font-size:8pt}

/* window color scheme -- borders for large displays */
body {color:black; background:#f5f5dc; margin:0px; height:100%;
      font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:12pt}
body.dark {color:black; background:gray; margin:60px; height:100%;
      font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:12pt}
