What you are describing is almost exactly what I am doing now, which I learned from trial and error. The wide margin has to be around the anchor and the anchor has to above the text that would normally have the anchor. Apparently this wasn't planned or thought of by the W3C. The only browser that does this without a work around with HTML and CSS is IE. That is about the only thing IE does that I like. Hence the initial reason for my question. I thought it could be done and I was just not finding what I needed. I wonder how IE does it? I hate MS so much that I use Linux and refuse to use any MS based software on a daily bases. I am glad I am NOT in a situation that I don't have a choice. I only use a legal copy of W2K pro in a VM on a few occasions when I get a project that can't be done any other way. Sometimes I have to use Autodesk software which is deliberately designed to work on windows only. -- "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -Thomas Jefferson This has been happening for the last 100 years. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
