This is my HTML:

<div id="links">
  <a href="">Link 1</a>
  <a href="">Link 2</a>
  <a href="">Link 3</a>
  <a href="">Link 4</a>
</div>

And these are the CSS styles:

#links {
    position: absolute;
    border: 1px solid #000;
}

#links a {
    display: block;
}

#links a:hover {
    background-color: #CCC;
}

This displays a list of links, the problem is that in IE, I can only click a link by directly clicking the text link, which is not the case with other browsers (where you can click anywhere whether the text link or anywhere else as long as it's in the link block), is there any fix for that (with only CSS, no javascript)?

Please note that I don't want to specify a width for the links or the div.
