Ul li hover issues with IE- when hovering links move up

HTML & CSS

Hi All,

I have an issue with IE with my ul li a hover effect. When I hover over the hyperlinks, they move up a little bit and not sure how to fix it. I changed the hover effect to not include the ‘a’ tag, but chrome won’t display the hover background.

Here is the code:

.submenu ul {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	list-style-type: none;
}
.submenu ul li {
	height: auto;
	width: 170px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 5px;
	margin-left: 0px;
	padding-top: 1px;
	padding-right: 0px;
	padding-bottom: 2px;
	padding-left: 0px;
	border-bottom-width: 1px;
	border-top-style: none;
	border-right-style: none;
	border-bottom-style: solid;
	border-left-style: none;
	border-bottom-color: #000;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	color: #000;
}

.submenu ul li a {
	display: block;
	color: #000;
	text-decoration: none;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
}


.submenu ul li a:hover {
	background-color: #FFC;
	display: block;
	width: 170px;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
}

Only change colors on hover, not the display properties.


.submenu ul li a {
    display: block;
    width: 170px;
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}
.submenu ul li a:hover {
    background-color: #FFC;
}
