ivanovitch The demo page is at http://imeet.com.au/aa2/ - it's cut right backto highlight my problem. Ignore the content, and the site URL I'm trying to find a way to make blocks of text in a div (item) to display the hover background for the entire div, and not just the linked text.

Thanks for the prompt response, Tim - but your suggestion did not alter the output (in my browser, at least). Sounded plausible, though... Anyone else? On 14/11/05, Tim Burgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If I remember correctly (others, please correct me if I'm wrong).. Make your links block

Nope: it's the demo page that is failing. Might be the browser (I'm using Safari and Firefox at present, and rebuilding my Windows box after a trojan popped in). We're only talking a few pixels: the text does show the hover state, but if I were to use a table cell, the entire cell would show it.
