N-Bomb(Nerd) Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hello, I'm just trying to learn a bit about css here, and I've seem to run into a problem. I'm planning on having my navigational links(buttons) on the left side of my website banner. However, when I view my buttons in FF all looks well.. but the whole line across to the right is a link.. when in fact I just want the button to be a link. With IE however it looks and works just fine. Could someone take a look at my source here and tell me whats wrong? index.html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="buttons.css" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title></title> </head> <body> <a href="#"><div id="nav_btn">Button1</div></a> <a href="#"><div id="nav_btn">Button2</div></a> <a href="#"><div id="nav_btn">Button3</div></a> <a href="#"><div id="nav_btn">Button4</div></a> </body> </html> buttons.css body { background-image: url(./images/background.png); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-color:black; } a { text-decoration: none; } #nav_btn { background-color: #FF0080; width: 60px; height: auto; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #FFF; padding: 5px; } #nav_btn:hover { background-color: #FFF; color: #000; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropfaith Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 why are you making divs to hold each link wouldnt a ul be way easier in the long run and more semantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Bomb(Nerd) Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 why are you making divs to hold each link wouldnt a ul be way easier in the long run and more semantic I don't exactly know.. rofl! I'm not very good at html/css.. I kinda just skipped that and jumped into php and shit.. and now that I've coded the php part for a website I want to make.. well I kinda need to learn html/css. I just tried to use ul, and I can't exactly get it work like I can with the div's. Is there a reason one shouldn't really use div's here?
