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

The default display type for a link is inline, which does not respond to height or width. Instead, tell your links to be inline-blocks, which preserves the flow of the links but makes them respect your request to be a specific size (height).

div#mainmenu div.menu ul li a
{
    display:inline-block;
    height:36px;
}
