Another IE CSS problem (anchor)

[windows]

I have a menu set up on my eBay AboutMe page.

This is the Style that I have:

a.white { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; font-weight:bold }
a.white:visted{ color: #FFFFFF}
a.white:hover{ color: #FFFFFF}
a.white:link{ color: #FFFFFF}
a.white:active{ color: #FFFFFF}

I works fine on the second line of my menu (which links to external pages) but the first line of the menu links to bookmarks on the current page.

<td class="td5"><a class="white" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#AboutMe">About Me</a></td>
<td class="td5"><a class="white" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#CJMGraphics">About CJM Graphics & Photo Restoration</a></td>
<td class="td5"><a class="white" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#Payments">Payments</a></td>
<td class="td5"><a class="white" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#Policies">Policies</a></td>
<td class="td5"><a class="white" href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#Communications">Communications</a></td>

The problem is that the '#' seems to be overriding the Style instruction and the default color disappears in the the background that I am using.

This doesn't happen in Netscape or Firefox but it does happen in IE 6.

Any thoughts....You're not using the LoVe HAte sequence on the styles. That might be having an effect.
