CSS a:link

Hi there - I'm having an annoying problem on my website. I was hoping someone
here would know the answer and save me hours of dinking around trying to figure
it out.

I'm a designer whose skills have gotten rusty since I took a few years off,
and I'm just learning some of the "new" techniques such as CSS. In my file, I
want to have a breadcrumb trail on some interior sub-pages, and I'm using the
sub-style a:link technique. But for some reason, part of my text is showing up
larger than the others. It's also inconsistent from one page to another, so
it's hard for me to zero in on the issue. I want that text to be smaller than
the body text. But it keeps defaulting to the bodytext size.

Could someone look at it and see what I need to fix? The file is
http://home.comcast.net/~jberger/ctc/network_equip.htm . The other files with
similar problems are in the "Products" section. It's the orange text at the top
of the page, beneath the nav bar.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me! It's driving me nuts.

If you have any other constructive comments regarding the style or setup, I'd
be interested to hear them as well. (Like I said, I'm relearning my webskills!)

The 'inconsistency' is between visited links and non-visited links.
Somewhere else on your site you've set a specific font size for visited
links.

So, to fix this issue, change this in your CSS:

..breadcrumb a:link {
(styles)
}

to this:

..breadcrumb a:link, .breadcrumb a:visited {
(styles)
}

This will set your breadcrumb non visited and visited links to the same
style.
