CSS: anchor will NOT accept height

Question

I have been pulling my hair our for over an hour on this and I just can\'t understand why it\'s not working.

HTML:

    &l         


        
      

Answer 1

Change div#mainmenu div.menu ul li a to this:

div#mainmenu div.menu ul li a
{
    display: block;
    width: auto;
    background: none;
    margin: 10px auto;
}

a elements are inline by default and you cannot set the height / width of inline elements.
