We're only talking a few pixels: the text does show the hover state,

to the div border.

Ah, hang on, missed the bit about the white space. Why not just set the padding on both div.input and div.item to 0, and reapply the padding in div.item a:link? Also, you don't need the width: 100%; and height: 100% in the a:link

Something like

div.input {border-color: #ccc;border-width: 1px 1px 0px 1px;border-style: solid;padding: 0;} div.item {padding: 0;border-bottom: #999;border-width: 0 0 1px 0;border-style: dotted;}
div.item a:link {padding: 5px; text-decoration: none; display: block;
}
