    Thats just some code that wasn't prgrammed corectlt or the page didn't load correctly.

    For example:
    a:hover{color:red}
    should be:
    a:hover{color:red};

    The lone semicolon would make the code proper and you wouldn't see in on the page.

    a:hover{color:red} is an example of CSS style. It an easy way to format an entire page the way the author wants. a:hover = the color of a link when the mouse if put over it. Normal links are blue, when you put the mouse over the link, it will turn red (According to this code:a:hover{color:red})

    Try these links to learn about CSS:

    You can also google it for more info.

    I also mentioned that the page would not have loaded properly or it only loaded partially. Next time hit refresh when you see it and the page will load up properly and the text will disappear.
