I think the divs stretch all the way towards the right of the screen. They 
do so automatically when you don't give them a CSS width, and I didn't find 
any.

So the mouse never mouses out of the div when it goes to the right. As to 
the left, it immediately encounters the links and their mouseover works fine 
and cancels the mouseout of the secondary divs.

Give everything a CSS border to see what you're doing and try again.
