<a href=""><span class="small2"><i>text of the link</i></span></a>

I didn't look at the actual page, but if you're going to use CSS you should 
use valid code, else you're asking for trouble.

You are not supposed to put ANY other tags in between the <A> tags.  Put 
your italics and your span on the outside of the a tags.  (do it without a 
<span> if you can.  what does your page look like on NN4x?)

If you want the link to look a certain way, apply your styles to the 
link.  Apply a class to the block level element that contains the links, if 
you can.

Back in the olden days, I also put <FONT> tags between the <a> tags to 
force a certain look.  It is no longer a good idea (if it ever was).
