I'm not sure what you mean by this. You want <a> elements on separate
lines, setting them to block display sounds reasonable. If you have
trouble with the width, then check your margins and padding.
Netscape 7 should have better css support; however, it just give me
headache sometime.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advace.

You aren't going to get better CSS support if you don't supply a doctype.
Look into "quirks mode" and "doctype switching". Browsers will
intentionally get your CSS wrong with a document like this.
All bets are off as far as CSS is concerned until you have valid HTML. I
have better things to do than to track down obscure behaviours in error
conditions, and I'm guessing you do too. Let the computer do a bit of the
work for you.

I modified the previous code as below and passed w3 validator.
This time I put text-indent instead of padding. Looks good, but not
what I want.
I really need the padding-left and padding-right for ccMenu; however,
ccMenu exceeds 150px if I add padding.
I doubt this is a bug of Netscape/Mozilla.
