Ok, a couple of people have PM'ed me asking for a sample. Here it is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Anchor Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
div.c1 {width: 150px; padding: 2px 5px; border: 1px solid #999; margin: 5px;}
div.c1 div {margin: 5px 0;}
div.c1 table {border-collapse: collapse; border: none; width: 100%;}
div.c1 table td {padding: 2px 0;}
a {
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
padding: 2px 5px;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
border: 1px solid blue;
width: 138px; /* bug in IE; must be in px (150-(5+5)-(1+1)) */
}
a:hover {background-color: #FFEEAA; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="c1">
<table>
<tr><td><a href="anchor.asp">Menu Item 1</a></td></tr>
<tr><td><a href="anchor.asp">Menu Item 2</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="c1">
<div><a href="anchor.asp">Menu Item 1</a></div>
<div><a href="anchor.asp">Menu Item 2</a></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>There are two menus here, one with tables and one with divs. There's a nasty bug in IE and a workaround is to specify <a>'s width in px (normally not required for a block element).
