Make Entire Navigation Bar List Item Clickable as a Link

As requested, a horizontal navigation bar has been structured using an unordered list, where each list item has ample padding. However, the desired effect is that the entire list item area functions as an active link instead of only the text. Here's how to achieve this:

To make the full area of each list item clickable, alter the CSS code as follows:

#nav a {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 25px 10px;
}

By applying inline-block to the anchor tags (#nav a), they will behave like block elements, taking up the width of the list items while aligning vertically. This means that the padding you had previously applied to the list items (#nav li) can now be applied to the anchor tags.

With this adjustment, the entire area of each list item, including the padding, will be recognized as a clickable link. The code snippet below demonstrates the necessary changes:

#nav a {
  color: white;
  font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 25px 10px;
}

By separating the padding from the list items, you can maintain the visual appearance while ensuring that the entire list item can be clicked to activate the associated link, providing a user-friendly and visually appealing navigation experience.
