To add more “air” in your links, allowing users to click easier, in CSS, use padding.

Also, when using links in lists (for navigation), you could use “width: 100%” trick, that provides the same reaction like using LABEL tags with form fields.

Here’s the CSS code for the menu of one of my web sites. I think the “display: block;” is the code that makes the text function more like a button.

#menu ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#menu ul li{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
}
#menu a {
display: block;
padding: .3em .6em;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
border-right: 1px solid #888;
}
#menu a:hover, #menu a:focus {
background-color: #eee;
color: inherit;
}
