Simple bug

Your error:

CSS:

#navigation_barullia:hover{
        border:none;
        color:#ffffff;
        background-image:url(Images/mouse_over_background.gif);
        z-index:1;                                          
}

What it should be:

#navigation_barullia:hover{
        border:none;
        color:black;
        background-image:url(Images/mouse_over_background.gif);
        z-index:1;                                          
}
