Buttons in Header not showing up in IE

[scitrenbaum]

I have added some addition buttons (with links) to be tpl_header.php file. I then used css to style the buttons. For some reason though, the buttons show up in Firefox, but they won't show up in IE. Does Zen Cart have a problem when you add stuff into the header in IE?

Here is a sample page

And here is the code I stuck into the tpl_header.php file...

<a id="birth" href="http://www.scentimentalprints.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65"> </a>
<a id="invites" href="http://www.scentimentalprints.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=69"> </a>
<a id="thanks" href="http://www.scentimentalprints.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66"> </a>
<a id="scent" href="http://www.scentimentalprints.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=70"> </a>

Someone please help! I'm trying desperately to launch the site and this is a major holdup!

First of all, very nice looking layout

Second of all, I can see them in IE 6 and 7??
