In the time since last posting I have tried out the implementation strategy as mentioned by Jukka and Georg/Gunlaug (with working example on http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/moa_29.html )
Now even with the working example by Georg, I still had a lot of implementation issues. One of the last things that teased me was that in my code, IE6 sort of "collapsed" the height of the link element on hover. Very weird. Also, IE seemed dependent of adding either background-image/background-color, or border to force rendering the 100% height. I got it working by adding a 1px transparent gif as background image for the hover link. Could not use border as the containing div had rounded corners (and IE 6 misinterprets border-color: transparent). The main issue for me was that my code behaved totally inpredictable. I had a working example (with too many css rules). I decided to remove some of the redundant rules (to see how much I could remove with the example still working). But oddly enough, when i pressed undo, I could not get the examples to work that previously worked for me..... I know it sounds like a user error. What did I oversee... But I even did this in pair with my colleague to minimize the risk of user errors. So eventually, I decided upon the javascript solution (see first mail in thread), that is more robust: (i know, kind of off topic as Jukka mentioned it, but as a future reference for others I decided to add it here) <script src="jquery-1.2.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready( function(){ //alert('JQuery has detected DOM is ready for manipulation'); $('.box').addClass("clickable"); $('.box').click( gotolink ); }); // gotolink() finds the first p>a link element in the div // Takes the link href and redirects to that URL when called var gotolink = function(){ location.href = $(this).children('p').children('a')[0].href; }; The actual two lines that do the work can be chained and reduced to: $('.box').addClass("clickable").click( gotolink ); Thanks to everybody for chipping in. Even though I would have prefered a css-only solution, I'm happy with this simple implementation. /Jesper blog: www.justaddwater.dk ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
