linking div's

Goodshape

I want to make an entire div area into one big href.

Exactly what you get in Firefox when you put 'a' tags on either side of a DIV, but I'd prefer something that works in IE and doesn't send the validator into a hissy fit.

Anyone know how or if it's possible?

Cheers.

Make the div you want, and do this, <a href = "" class="div name">

You mean mark out the css rules for the div and assign them to an 'a href'?

If that's it it's not really as versitile as I hoped but I might be able to adapt, cheers.


view this in firefox and you'll know what I'm trying to achieve.

Look at the links at the bottom of this site.

All well and good but I've got line breaks and font resizes which can't really be put between two anchor tags. The example on that site is essentially just a very large border.


edit -- forget that actually.. it seems to work alright. Cheers

You could use JavaScript for this.

<div class="someclass" onclick="location.href='somepage.htm'">Div Content</div>

I would also recommend you add: cursor: pointer; to the CSS class for the div so it looks like a link.
