issue with css: button image same size as link?

nevermore · February 24, 2011

I am having trouble with making my buttons the right size. They are each resizing themselves to the width of the link they are behind. Pic:

my problem is at #menu a

Here is the html coding:

<!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>
<title></title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header_wrap">
<div id="header">
<div id="site_logo">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="menu_wrap">
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www..com/main/index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www..com/main/about.html">About</a></li>

You are missing 'px' in your width property:

#menu a {

margin:0 10px 0 10px;

float:left;

display:block;

height:36px;

width:150px;

background:url(images/menu.png) no-repeat;

text-align:center;

font-size:14px;

text-decoration:none;

color:white;

font-weight:bold;

outline:none;
