Using IE6, IE7 and Firefox (if it matters)

I have a number of pages on an intranet site where the 'buttons' are composed of an <a> tag wrapped round a span.

<a href="somepage">Button Text<span></span></a>

On one of the pages these buttons are in a table, and the span makes them fill the table cell.

However, Only the text in the span is clickable. Is there any way of making the whole span, no matter how wide it is clickable?

Apologies of Ive not explained this very well!

Yes, you need to convert span or even better the anchor (<a>) to be a block level element and for IE (6 at least, not sure about 7) you will also have to add width 100% to make it work.

Hmm, from my (Brief) research on this, I cant make <a> block level?

Sure you can:

<a href="" style="display:block;"></a>


Or have it inside a style sheet and give the <a> a class.
