Here is the problem. i am trying to create a website virtually all in CSS. I am having trouble with the creating a navigation area. I want the background color to be a full 145px wide and 20 px high. When I mouse over (hover) I want the background color to change but stay the same size.

Here it the CSS code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

/* navigation class link */
a.navigation:link
{
	background-color:	blue;
	color:			     white;
}
a.navigation:visited
{
	text-decoration:	  none;
	background-color:	blue;
	color:			     white;
}
a.navigation:hover
{
	background-color:	red;
	color:			     blue;
}
a.navigation:active
{
	text-decoration:	none;
}
div.box
{
	width:			  145px;
	height:			  22px;
	border:			 1px solid black;
	line-height:		 20px;
}

Here is part of the html file:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<div class="box">
   <a class="navigation" href="http://www.auburn.edu">Auburn University</a>
</div>

Can anyone help me on this. If you need more information then please ask.

fist change you <div> to this -

(Toggle Plain Text)

<div id="box">

Your css code will then change to -

(Toggle Plain Text)

#box{}

if you want all your links to be the same in the div "box" then you don't even need the class. Either way, I think your problem is that you got the word/class navigation in the wrong place. Try this -

(Toggle Plain Text)

.navigation a:hover

and if you descide to scrap the class, you can simply use

(Toggle Plain Text)

#box a:hover

Hope that helps
