Since I’m used to the standards suggesting that you shouldn’t put block level elements inside anchor tags. But it does make sense, as most people (like me) end up just wrapping clickable chunks with a div tag, adding cursor:pointer in the CSS and then assigning a click event via JavaScript. It makes sense that anchor tags should be able to be used like this, now it’s just adjusting to it :) http://9pillsonline.com/ At first, it feels a bit icky.

My only gripe is it does require some extra code for IE7 to get the entire link hoverable however where the image is, the link is still unclickable. Doesn't seem to make any sense but if you goto the portfolio section of my site in IE7, then you'll understand.
