You probably won't even need to set a width. By default, block
elements expand horizontally to fill the available space - in this
case the with of the LI, which is already block.
Remember that all modern browsers (including IE7) allow :hover
pseudoclasses on any element, so you could set the background colour
using
li:hover { color:#xxx }
...provided you don't mind a little graceful degradation (ie no hover
effect) in IE6.
