Division element containing an anchor tag

At first, I am aware that there are numerous questions similar to this one, but none of the resources I have come across have provided a solution. For some reason, my current approach is not working...

I am trying to create a clickable area inside the class="downloadBoks", instead of just making the text within <a></a> clickable. I want to achieve this without using JavaScript.

Here is the HTML code:

<div class="sideboks">
    <div class="downloadBoks">
        <a href="Prosjektplan.pdf">Prosjektbeskrivelse</a>
    </div>
    <div class="downloadBoks">
        <a href="Statusrapport.pdf">Statusrapport</a>
    </div>
</div>

And here is the CSS code:

.downloadBoks {
    height: 23px;
    width: 150px;
    font-size: 14px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: #000000;
    border-width: 0px 0px 2px 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-bottom:0px;
    line-height: 25px;
    vertical-align:middle;
    box-shadow: inset 0px 0 2px 2px #777777;
}

div.sideboks{
    width: 150px;
    height: 50px;
    margin-top: 150px;
    margin-left: 54px;
    position: fixed;
    background-color: #B7AFA3;
    border:solid;
    border-width: 5px 0px 5px 5px;
    border-top-left-radius: 10px;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
    box-shadow: inset 1px 0 0px 0px #777777;
}

This is where I currently stand with my code. At the moment, the "downloadBoks" section is purely for aesthetic purposes.

Edit: I have realized that nesting the divs might be causing the issue? So I have updated the code accordingly. Thank you for all the responses so far!

Answer №1

.downloadBox a {
     display: block;
     height: 100%;
 }

By implementing this code, the entire square will be clickable. Check out the DEMO.

Answer №2

Utilizing HTML5 allows for the inclusion of elements within a tags:

<a href="ProjectPlan.pdf">
    <p class="downloadBox">
        Project Description
    </p>
</a>

Answer №3

container, ensure that the <a> elements have a height and width of 100%. By doing this, the links will occupy all available space within the div, making the entire area clickable: 
.downloadBoks a
{
    display:inline-block;
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
}
