Link Buttons - HTML / CSS

74 New Member

Hi there!

I'm developing an ASP.NET application.

I'm making use of a LinkButton Object to post my forum to the server.
The LinkButton is converted into a hyperlink once it is rendered as HTML for the browser.

Instead of displaying simple hyperlinks (to change my languages), I'd like to use <div> tags that represent buttons.

In order to extend the hyperlink so that the whole <div> acts like a button, right now I am placing a <div> within the <a> like so:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<a id="Lbtn_English" href="javascript:__doPostBack('BlahBla','')" style="color:White;text-decoration:none;">

    <div id="English" class="languageSelectionButton" style="background-color:Blue;">

        English

    </div>

</a>

This is obviously not valid usage of the hyperlink HTML code.
Could someone recommend how to get around this problem using HTML?
(So that I can figure out how to get my ASP.NET code to render valid HTML)

Thanks

That's not what <div> elements are for. I assume you have several buttons? Then it's a list of buttons. So:[html]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
li{list-style-type:none;
height:100px;width:100px;
outline:1px solid black;
}
a{
display:block;
height:100px;
width:100px;
background-color:red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="#" style="">link</a>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
[/html]
Or something like that. I've got a headache.

Even better, you can use an image instead of the text.

Thanks a lot for your help!
I didn't realize that you could set the hyperlink to be block style :D

I'd use images except that I'm trying to match a desktop application's look and feel....and they aren't using images :)

Thanks again!
