Ignore me, I was being an idiot. I'll look at changing it - the only downside would be that the '>' marks would be part
ofthe link as well, making them the same colour. I kinda liked them a bit darker, but hey-ho.

hmm... interesting :) i've tried it in firefox 1.0.1 (winxp) and 1.0.7
(suse 10), konqueror (suse) and ie6 and only in the latter have i observed
what you mention. i wasn't aware of that kind of ie's behaviour, haven't
used it in the last 2 years at all :)
anyway, the thing is, in browsers i've used the entire block (which also
changes color) acts as a link, not only the text and is therefore imo
easier to navigate: one just needs to move the mouse in the area and
click. this is basically following the design rule of "bigger targets are
easier to hit".
so if it is not too much work can it please be included in the styles?
thanks,
M
