increasing clickable area of a button

Question

Is there anyway to increase the target area of a button but not increase it\'s siz

Answer 1

You could add a pseudo-element (:after / :before), but be careful as two nearby links might overlap this way ..

some link text

and

a.big-link{position:relative;}
a.big-link:before{
    position:absolute;
    content:'';
    top:-10px;
    right:-10px;
    left:-10px;
    bottom:-10px;
}
