Making DIV link capable

I want to be able to click anywhere on the DIV

I'm abusing DIVs to make nice pretty graphs using them as solid rectangles.

I'd like to be able to make them navigate on click, ie. as with <a href=....>

How can I do this?

Enclose them in a <a href

If you set display:block on an a tag, it'll act exactly like a div.

thanks :-)
enclosing in <a href didn't work - maybe because of absolute positioning? actualy only if i had content in the div did that become clickable.

final solution was onClick=location.href="blahblah"

apparently onClick is invalid xhtml?! is there another way around this that will validate as xhtml 1.1 ... even if it's sloppy. i just need something to last until xhtml 2.0 let's us add href attributes to divs. ;)

setting it as an a with display:block won't work... i've got a span inside the div hiding an a from css-aware browsers. (say that 3 times fast *lol*)

thanks!

Try "onclick" instead--all lower case. Apparently XHTML likes the attributes to be in lower case. That error confused me also until I read about it somewhere on WebmasterWorld.

*ROFLMAO*

thanks so much, photon! i've got that in there for now, but i think i found a better solution to my problem... which ironically will involve me setting my <a> tag to display:block. i was just thinking about it the wrooooong way. guess that's what happens when you've been working on one tiny problem for 3 hours. *lol*

thanks again!
