Text Underlined on Mouseover in IE, but not Firefox.
When I open the following site in Firefox.
http://www.foundingfathersfaithministry.org
The site renders just as it was created... In Firefox it shows the proper text colors, no underlining (as if it were a hyperlink) and the text is aligned "left" which is as it should be.
In Internet Explorer all text is red and underlines on mouseover.
The last time I checked it in IE this wasn't the case(a couple weeks ago), and no one has edited the CSS in almost a year.
Help?
The w3schools validator shows 1 CSS error which seems to be unrelated.
ul.menu-bullettree a:link, ul.menu-bullettree a:visited { color: 0a0a0a;
background-image: url(../images/red/bullettree-level0.png);
Error explanation..
Value Error : color Unknown dimension 0a0a0a
Again the site has operated this way since inception (almost a year) so I'm doubtful that this is the issue and confused as to why it suddenly changed in IE.

That color should read #0a0a0a; - you are missing the hash sign.
All text is red in Safari 4 and Opera 10 this end, and the text is a link, which may account for the underlining on hover in some version of IE.
I tried debugging the many HTML errors, but am overwhelmed by layout tables and over 140 DIVs.
Sorry.
Cordially, David

The text isn't actually linked, it has just taken on the characteristics of one...they don't go anywhere.
I ran the html validator too, but since the underline was carrying across every page I assumed it was in the CSS, therefore I didn't mention the html.
I also forgot to mention that this I'm using Joomla.
I did install a new wysiwyg editor about 2 weeks ago in the Joomla admin, and have only used it for the two sites that now have issues. My side module text has also aligned "center" instead of "left", within the modules themselves.
Again these are things that I didn't edit or alter in any way. Can an HTML editor component accidentally alter your style sheets without my ever actually opening one?
