title: Making Link Padding Clickable
body: <p>The padding around the link for my dropdown menu isn't clickable. When I mouse over the actual text, it changes color and becomes clickable. How can I make the padding clickable? I read that I should style it as an inline-block, but that didn't work. This is also my first post, so correct me for the countless things that I probably did wrong.
  CSS:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    body {
    font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    padding: 20px 50px 150px;
    font-size: 13px;
    text-align: left;
    background-position:center;
    background-image:url(sun.jpg);
  }
  a {
      display:inline-block;
      color: #6FF;
      text-decoration: none;
  }
  a:hover {
      color: #FFF;
  }
  ul {
      color:#6FF
    text-align: left;
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 1px 1px 1px 0;
    list-style: none;
  }
  ul li {
      color: purple;
    font: bold 12px/18px sans-serif;
    display: inline-block;
    margin-right: -10px;
    position: relative;
    padding: 20px 20px;
    background: #fff;
    cursor: pointer;
    -webkit-transition: all 0.5s;
    -moz-transition: all 0.5s;
    -ms-transition: all 0.5s;
    -o-transition: all 0.5s;
    transition: all 0.5s;
  }
  ul li:hover {
    background: #555;
    color: #fff;
  }
  ul li ul {
    padding:0;
    position:absolute;
    top: 54px;
    left: 0;
    width: 150px;
    display: none;
    opacity: 0;
    visibility: hidden;
    -webkit-transiton: opacity 0.5s;
    -moz-transition: opacity 0.5s;
    -ms-transition: opacity 0.5s;
    -o-transition: opacity 0.5s;
    -transition: opacity 0.5s;
  }
  ul li ul li { 
    background-color:#555;
    color:#6FF; 
    display: block; 
  }
  ul li ul li:hover { background: #555; }
  ul li:hover ul {
    display: block;
    opacity: 1;
    visibility: visible;
  }
