Make Whole As Link With Proper Html

I know this has been up a lot of times before, but I couldn't find any solution in my specific case. I've got a navigation bar and I want the whole

's to be 'linked' or '

Solution 1:

• Get rid of the <div>s.
• Set the <a> tags to have display: block
• Move the padding from the <li> to the <a>.
• The <li>s will need to be either floated or display: inline-block

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/8yQ57/

Solution 2:

Just use "display block" for link.

ul {
  display: block;
  list-style-type: none;
}

li {
  display: inline-block; /* or block with float left *//* margin HERE! */
}

lia {
  display: block;
  /* padding and border HERE! */
}

Here's the example http://jsfiddle.net/TWFwA/ :)

Solution 3:

I myself just had this problem.

The answer couldn't be simpler:

<liclass="menuitem"><ahref="index.php"><divclass="menulink">Lnk1</div></a></li>Wrong:.menuitem {
    list-style-type:none;display:inline;margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;font-family:Georgia;font-size:11px;background-color:#c0dbf1;border:1pxsolidblack;padding:10px20px10px20px;
}

Correct.menuitema {
    list-style-type:none;display:block;margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;font-family:Georgia;font-size:11px;background-color:#c0dbf1;border:1pxsolidblack;padding:10px20px10px20px;
}

in other words, you want to apply the css that the LI's had to the A element. Making sure that the A is a block line element

Solution 4:

I think you may have meant inline-block, not inner-block:

lia {display: inline-block; height: 100%; width: 100%; }

Also, inline-block has its own set of problem with older IE browsers, and probably won't react how you'd expect.

Solution 5:

a sir you use jquery ? if yes, you can try it :

$("li").click(function(){
   $(this).find('a').click();
});

or you could use it too as css:

li{
  position:relative;
}
lia {
  position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:100%;height:100%;
}

Choose one ... Good luck
