Cs4 problem with link text changing size when clicked

Question

designing in cs4, the actual text of my text links become huge for a split second when clicked, and then they go back to normal size.  I don't know what is causing this.  I don't want them to change when clicked.  Any ideas?  thanks in advance.

John,
If you need all the CSS code, I will attach it below:
@charset "utf-8";
body  {
    text-align: left; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #333;
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14pt;
.twoColFixLtHdr #container {
    width: 950px; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
    background-color: #E0D2A3;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: auto;
    padding-top: 0px;
    height: auto;
.twoColFixLtHdr #header {
    padding: 0px;  /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
    background-color: #000;
    border: 5px ridge #333;
    margin: 10px;
    background-image: url(../website%20stuff/stepping%20on%20constitution--crop%20text.jpg);
    text-align: left;
.twoColFixLtHdr #header h1 {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
    padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
    font-size: 18pt;
    color: #FFF;
.twoColFixLtHdr #sidebar1 {
    float: left; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
    width: 200px; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: #E0D2A3;

.twoColFixLtHdr #footer p {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */
    padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */
.fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right in your page. The floated element must precede the element it should be next to on the page. */
    margin-left: 8px;
.clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */
