I've been trying to create a simple vertical navigation bar, using (as
recommended) an unordered list (UL) of hyperlinks. I'd like to have a hover
effect, so I have to style the links themselves.
ul.links a:link, ul.links a:visited {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
}
ul.links a:hover, ul.links a:active {
color: #FF0000;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
My problem is that because the link text length varies, the width of the
background also varies, giving an awful ragged effect on the
right-hand-side. I've seen this done beautifully (but can't now find an
example). Any suggestions?

How about setting a width on <li> and setting the width for <a> and all
the pseudoclasses as necessary on 100%?

Set a width (in ems) to the <li> element, and set the <a>
element to display:block; width:100%.

width: 100% only for broken MSIE/Win. Use width: auto for Firefox and Opera.

Yeah, I spotted that ommission just after I posted this. But then saw that
Els had the correct solution posted already. So didn't bother to correct
mine.

Hi all,
I'm not yet good at thinking the right way in c++ so although I could
solve this problem, I'm not sure if they way I'm thinking of is the best
way to do it. I need a data type or class or something that can hold
either an int, or a float, knows which one it is holding, and will allow
me to do comparisons with instances of it without the code which asks
for the comparison having to know which one it is. So maybe I could do
it...
