Spiders not picking up all links

I have been working on a website with some developers. I do not know ASP myself and they have done this side of it. I have been responsible for the acutal design and SEO.

The site is now up and whilst Spiders from Google, MSN and ASK have visited the site. Not all pages are showing in the search engines.

I have tested it using this: [tools.seobook.com...] and it would appear that the spiders don't pick up many of the links.

The website in question is [wewillbuyyourcar.com...]

Wondered if anyone had any advice on how to solve this?

munkeh92, welcome to webmaster world... you can't drop links like that here.

Can you demonstrate what the paths look like to the pages that aren't getting crawled...

Thanks for the welcome and sorry for my mistake. The links look this:

<TR>
<TD><A onmouseover="MM_swapImage('nav_r4_c1','','../Images/nav_r4_c1_f2.jpg',1);" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
href="../Forms/HowItWorks.aspx"><IMG id="nav_r4_c1" height="42" alt="" src="../Images/nav_r4_c1.jpg" width="181" border="0" name="nav_r4_c1"></A></TD>
</TR>

When I have run it through a spider test it doesn't pickup page with links like this.

use relative links, not absolute.(lose the ../).
