jeffman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 An anchor is an inline element. Most inline elements ignore size declaration. If it helps, you could give it some funky padding to make it longer and higher, but you cannot create fixed sizes that way.Of course, if you're not using the link in inline fashion (if it's not one word of a longer sentence), then you can try changing the display property to display:block. Just be aware that anything coming after the link in that table cell will be on the "next line," unless you also give the link a float:left property.I assume there's a good reason for not simply styling the table cell?
