font-size being overrided by main css

[helpmeplease2]

When I use:

 

<div style="font-size:9px;">words</div>

 

the words are not showing up as 9px, they are showing up as 11px because of what I have set for link sizes in my stylesheet....

 

a:link, a:visited, a:active

{

font-family: Arial,Verdana,Sans-serif,serif;

font-size: 11px;

font-weight: bold;

text-decoration: none;

color: #bdbdbd;

}

 

How can I make it do what I tell it to?

Is that all the css and html you have? Also, are all the words also links? You need to post all css and html for help. Greek your text, if you want, but right now, it's hard to answer your question accurately.

Yes, all the words are links.

 

I won't be able to fit all my CSS here.

Try changing it to font-size:9px !important; and see if that works.

<div class="style">words</div>

 

.style a {

font-size: 9px;

}
