hyperlink to get table cell to change color, stay in middle of table cell

Asked by brianpsmith81 in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

Tags: color, hyperlink, change, cell, table

Hello experts,

I'm designing a sidebar menu and I want the table cells to change color when hovered over. I have accomplished this through css for the hyperlinks within the cells and using display:block to change the cells. This all works fine and dandy, but I would prefer if the links were in the middle of the cells rather than at the top. I have tried different settings to no avail, including vertical-align:middle, margin-top, etc. All either do nothing or don't highlight the whole cell (such as in the case of margins). Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

Here's some code I'm using....

The css:

a.menu:link {text-decoration:underline;color:#555555;display:block;width:100%;height:100%;background:#DDDDDD;}
a.menu:visited {text-decoration:underline;color:#555555;display:block;width:100%;height:100%;background:#DDDDDD;}
a.menu:hover {text-decoration:none;color:black;width:100%;display:block;height:50;background:#EEEEEE;}
a.menu:active {text-decoration:none;color:black;width:100%;display:block;height:50;background:#EEEEEE;}

the html:

<table align=center width=100% cellpadding = 0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><tr><td valign=middle height=50 align=center class=leftbar><b><a href="WAstatetaxes.aspx" class=menu>Washington State Taxes</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=middle height=50 align=center class=leftbar><b><a href="classactions.aspx" class=menu>Class Actions</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=middle height=50 align=center class=leftbar><b><a href="bio.aspx" class=menu>Biography</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=middle height=50 align=center class=leftbar><b><a href="links.aspx" class=menu>Links</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td height=400> </td></tr>
</table>

Thanks!
