Given this html:

<div class="nation">
    <a href="library.php?type=nation&amp;id=America">
        <div class="nation-image">
            <img src="nations/America.png" alt="snip" />
        </div>
        <h3>America</h3>
    </a>
</div>

the following CSS results in the entire <div class="nation"> becoming a clickable block link:

.nation {float: left; text-align: center; width: 189px;}

.nation img {width: 160px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border: 1px solid #16160C;}

but if I make the following single addition:

.nation {float: left; text-align: center; width: 189px;}

    .nation-image {height: 138px;}

.nation img {width: 160px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border: 1px solid #16160C;}

to specify the height of <div class="nation-image"> then the image (and only the image) is no longer a link, but the rest of the div (margin around it, h3 etc) remain a block link...
