Problem with global "a:link" css property and menu

If I have a link globally styled in my css such as:

a {
font-size: 13px;
}

then for a split second the menu takes on that styling for its links, then reverts to its own styling that i have set in css, making it appear to flicker as it takes on a font size of 13px then reverts to its own 10px.

Please tell me there's a way to stop this? I really need to be able to use global link styles in my stylesheet.

Thanks,
Dav

Trouble is that the menu also uses links so anything you specify for a global link will also apply to the menus link, it's the way CSS works.

I've yet to find a way around it but that's not saying it's not impossible

I know it is possible as the current menu I use doesn't have the same issue yet uses css styling. I won't mention their name here as I like your menu and wouldn't want to send visitors of your forums elsewhere. There menu system isn't updated as regularly, in fact it hasn't been in a year and it doesn't support the latest opera whereas your mighty menu does.

It's only the css a link I am having a problem with now.. other than that you have the best menu on the market and I would definitely recommend it.

I hope you can find a fix for this rather annoying bug

Please feel free to send me the name via email.

My address is "andy at" and the domain name can be found in the browsers address bar ;)

Have you actually specified 10px as a font size in the menu?

Yes I have, and it does work but like I said it takes a fraction of a second to kick in on more or less each hover of the menu. Before it does the global a:hover style is displayed.

I am just about to send an email with the company name to your address.

Cheers.

Hi,

Do you have a URL where I can actually see this happen?

Cheers,
