Correct Testcase (without Tables!) is:
--------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>CSS :hover - tescase for non-A elements</title>

<style type="text/css">
.menuDefault { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;
	color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none}
.menuDefault:link { text-decoration: none }
.menuDefault:visited { text-decoration: none }
.menuDefault:active { text-decoration: none }
.menuDefault:hover { text-decoration: underline }
 .container { width: 150px; height: 150px; background: green; }
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000">

<div class="container">
<span class="menuDefault">If you move your mouse over the text
            should not be underlined! If it is, then your browser seems to 
have a problem in applying the CSS class menuDefault:hower.
</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
--------------------------

Please, PLEASE - do not use TABLEs when they are necessary!
You can do everything with help of CSS, just using DIV and SPAN tags!
Also: FONT tag is depreciated! Do not use it!

P.S. other people (Lars, Dirk) already commented the rest

Ask authors of those pages to correct their HTML.
I know, that's not easy, but we can ensure our future only in this way!
