Ok, let's see here. Someone already pointed out that you didn't properly close one of the table commands.
PHP Code:
<table class="rightnavbar"
work dam u work
</table
Here's what happens: I tried linking to the style sheet (saved it as a .css) and everything but the background color works. *confused* I tried changing it from "black" to the hex code (#000000) but that didn't help. So I'm not really sure what's up in terms of how different browsers/OS's are working.

With the embedded style sheet (either way, actually), the tables show up- but you need to open and close the <TR> and <TD> tags for the text to show up in the right place- otherwise it ends up outside your tables and the tables then change position to accomodate, so all your .css positioning is pointless.

Also, one piece of unsolicited advice. =) You may want to try playing around with div layers and seeing if that helps. They may be easier to work with, depending on what you're trying to do. Your style sheet will work the same way, but you can just change your code from <table class= "topnavbar"> to <div id= "topnavbar" class= "topnavbar">. I think you may be able to do more with the css then. I'm not totally sure, but it's probably worth playing around with.

Hope this helps. I think I fixed some stuff but I'm not sure I exactly answers your original question. Maybe if we knew what OS and browser you were using on the school computers compared to what we are all using we'd be able to figure out what does/doesn't support what you're trying to do and possibly fix it.
