Mixing
css How can I make the background of a link behave like the link itself?
-3
So clicking on the background of a link would open up the link, or hovering over the background would turn the cursor icon into a pointer icon.
EDIT: Here is my yucky code that I didn't bother to show at first because of shame.
a{
color: #815853;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
}
a:hover{
color: #e3ddce;
}
ul li {
color: #e3ddce;
display: inline-block;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 5px 15px;
}
ul li:hover {
background: #815853;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
}`
html css

That seems to be what I needed. Time to stare at your code and try to understand what is happening since I can't read HTML or CSS.
