Kevin, make sure to apply your padding ad background image to the link - not the list item :)
have a look at this page here: http://ghostcogs.co.uk/category/sketchbook/ which uses this CSS: #work a { display: block; font-size: 0.8em; padding: 0.3em 0 0.6em 3.6em; background: transparent url(images/rollover_nav.png) no-repeat; background-position: 0 0; } Hope this helps :) Prisca On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 2:25 PM, kevin mcmonagle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, > im doing a list with a background image and some text. how can an make the > whole li area hot and not just the text. > i forgot how to do that > -best > kevin > > > > ******************************************************************* > List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm > Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ******************************************************************* > > -- • graphiceyedea.co.uk • eyedea.eu • eyelearn.org • -- ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
