The behavior is fine in IE 6 and Mozilla 1.3.1.
All links have an odd purple glow; I'm guessing, though, that this is 
intentional.  Not sure how this helps usability.

The black background for the source code, though, makes the text hard to 
read.

If the use of scripting and CSS is acceptable across a sufficient number 
of browsers, perhaps a CSS switcher script (sucah as described at [0]) 
should be included as a well, with a reasonable slection of style sheets 
(big fonts, or plain colors, or whatever).
