CSS Menu position of text with padding and overflow

[HansHenrik]

Hi experts!

I've made a CSS menu.

{The menu contains: no images; !important}

I would like to position my text close to the bottom in my list-items as in example 02 and 03.

At the moment example 02 is the closest to what i want, but i can't do it without the padding and "overflow:hidden" commands.

I have this strange voice inside telling me "it's not pure enough". It validates fine and everything, but still... HIDDEN. Is that ok, or?

Is there a way to position (link) text indside a list-element without the use of padding,overflow, hidden and all that jazz?

Stylesheet is here.

Not off the top of my head. If it's worth the effort, you could make the box a separate element on top of the text.
