It's a 100% JavaScript menu -- there is no content for the A element.
DIV has nothing to do with the issue. If you turned off JavaScript in
your graphical browsers, the menu would be broken there, too.

If the menu were built with CSS and no JS, then it would function in Lynx.
There are many examples of "pure CSS" menus on the Web, including
explanations of how they work. If you google, maybe you'll find one
you like. :-)
