Links force line breaks in text

    I have this page that I am working on.
    http://atlanticwebhost.com/resources/webhost-userguide.html

    If you click on one of the links and then go back to the first page it puts in a line break. (I’m using FireFox, IE surprisingly doesn’t do it)

    For example:

    Here is a sentence and this is the link. Here is another sentence which should NOT be forced to start on a new line.

    So what happens? The word ‘link’ set as a link would move everything immediately after the word ‘link’ to the next line, so it would format like this:

    Here is a sentence and this is the link
    . Here is another sentence which should NOT be forced to start on a new line.

    Any ideas what is going on here? Thanks in advance.

    Hi

    Instead of posting your whole stylesheet you would probably get better results if you posted a link to a specific example of the problem, in action on your site. Then, using debugging tools, someone can go right to the reason this is occurring. Make sense?

    I believe I did. On the second line of my post I have the page that I’m having the problem on.

    That’s a WordPress page?! Get rid of display:inherit; on a:visited in css2.css.
