How do I make a transparent border with CSS?

Question

I have an li styled as follows:

li{
    display:inline-block;
    padding:5px;
    border:1px solid none;
}
li:hover{
    border:1px solid #FC0;         


        

Answer 1

You could remove the border and increase the padding:

li {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 6px;
  border-width: 0px;
}

li:hover {
  border: 1px solid #FC0;
  padding: 5px;
}

  
Hovering is great
