Then:
* In Firefox you see the dotted focus-line around the new defined padding: a rather big grey-backgrounded rectangle (going across the text under the text-link). * In IE you see the dotted focus-line smaller: only on the line of the <a> (as it was). Perhaps with fine-tuning this can be solved... * In both: the background-color #eee (light grey) is showing in the whole area when hovering or tabbing > but hiding the button. See first testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/button-focus-a.htm>. Better than a background color when hovering/tabbing can be a changing button-image (txt-underline was already toggled). See second testpage <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/button-focus-b.htm>. (still IE needs some fine tuning) (seems FF did not allow the short color notation ?) (a combined image for the two buttons - - shifting background-position - - can avoid a flash when toggling) (remark the white circle flash in the grey area of the button when tabbing: optical illusion "negative after-image" -- don't know the English term for it) (btw: big difference FFand IE in the default sans-serif and serif fonts !!!)
