[WSG] Making CSS Buttons active

[Michael Kear]

I’m building a site with a navigation button stack in the left column, and I’m trying to figure out how to make the whole button active.  I know I’ve seen it happening somewhere but I can’t find an example right now.   Can anyone show me how that is achieved?   I’m not sure if I’m making myself clear, but when I style the  nested list, I get nice buttons being displayed, and when the cursor hovers over the word in the button, the hover effect works fine,  but when the cursor is over the button but not over the word, the hover effect doesn’t work.   If I have a button that’s a lot wider than the word (for example on the “home” button where the active area of the button is far smaller than “sign up now”   I know I’ve seen this with java applets, but I sure don’t want to go down that road again – I have that on my own site now and it’s a pain.    I felt certain there was a way using nested lists and CSS to make the entire button area clickable.  Isnt there?      Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Macromedia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks Pty Ltd http://afpwebworks.com Full Scale ColdFusion hosting from A$15/month
