100% wide links

am 27.01.2008 00:20:05 von jeff

I'd like to specify the width of a link. (This would be for a menu).

You can do this easily in quirks mode but I'm having trouble in
standards mode.

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

What's the trick? The end desired result is to do this using lists,
I've shown the div as it simplifies the example.

I think this wraps up my days worth of questions!

Thanks,
Jeff

What you have won't work because A elements are inline elements and do
not have a width property. What you can do is make it display as block
then it would have a width.

Add display: block; to the style for the anchor.

For navigation menus div is out, lists are in.
