Fraser,

Ironically, the link appears to be active in Firefox but not in 
IE.  (Ironic because your software recommends that the user view the 
site in IE.)

Debugging this problem amid your very complex web application is 
daunting.  What I'd do if I were you is start stripping elements from 
your page until the problem is easier to isolate.

I've noticed in the past that anchors can be disabled in IE in 
certain circumstances if their CSS positioning is left static.  You 
can remedy this by applying {position: relative} to the anchor or its 
container.  See my comments in the CSS on this page:

Good luck,
Paul
