can not call click() in Firefox or Mozilla

Been searching for an answer to this but no luck yet...

I have a navbar with items that look like this :

<div id="nav_abou" class="navbarnorm" onClick='document.getElementById("nav_abou_text").click()'>  
<a id="nav_abou_text" class="navbarnorm" href=http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php/http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php/"index.jsp?sec=About">About</a>
</div>

As it is any user of Firefox or Mozilla will have to click the text inside the <a></a> tags to make it work. The link text covers only about half the width of the navbar (its 130px). I'd like set off the link if the user clicks anywhere in that parent div.

Any ideas?

Thanks much
Will

If you need it, here is a more complete example of the navbar as it is :
