So I'm trying to make each list-item on my site clickable but I'm not sure what is the best way to do it. Please help me out.
So here is the relevant HTML:
<ul>
<li>Backpack <a href="#" title="Buy on Amazon" target="_blank"><img src="img/basket.png" height="16" width="16" alt="Buy" class="buy" onClick="pageTracker._trackEvent('Amazon', 'School Supplies', 'Backpack');"/></a></li>
<!-- More List Items -->
</ul>
And here is the relevant CSS:
.content ul li {
display:block;
list-style:none;
padding:5px 10px 5px 15px;
}
.content li li {
// This is for when there are sub-categories.
border-bottom: none;
border-top: 1px solid #f8d9d0;
margin: 3px -10px -3px -15px;
padding: 5px 0px 5px 30px;
}
.buy {
float: right;
margin-top: -2px;
}
// The next ones all deal with the shopping cart icon that appears only on hovers.
.listblock ul li img {
visibility: hidden;
}
.listblock ul li:hover img {
visibility: visible;
}
.listblock ul li ul li img {
visibility: hidden !important;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.listblock ul li ul li:hover img {
visibility: visible !important;
margin-right: 10px;
}
How can I make the whole list-item clickable and still have the shopping cart icon and Google Analytics Event tracking still work? Is there some jQuery magic I can use?
I've tried using display:block for the Amazon links, but that seems to mess up the image placement.
Thank you so much!

Here is a working solution - https://codepen.io/dragoeco/pen/YMJYqW (edit: dead link http://jsfiddle.net/STTaf/)
I used simple jQuery:
$(function() {
$('li').css('cursor', 'pointer')
.click(function() {
window.location = $('a', this).attr('href');
return false;
});
});

HTML and CSS only.
#leftsideMenu ul li {
border-bottom: 1px dashed lightgray;
background-color: cadetblue;
}
#leftsideMenu ul li a {
padding: 8px 20px 8px 20px;
color: white;
display: block;
}
#leftsideMenu ul li a:hover {
background-color: lightgreen;
transition: 0.5s;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
<div id="leftsideMenu">
<ul style="list-style-type:none">
<li><a href="#">India</a></li>
<li><a href="#">USA</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Russia</a></li>
<li><a href="#">China</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Afganistan</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Landon</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Scotland</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Ireland</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

The key is to give the anchor links a display property of "block" and a width property of 100%.
Making list-items clickable (example):
HTML:
<ul>
<li><a href="">link1</a></li>
<li><a href="">link2</a></li>
<li><a href="">link3</a></li>
</ul>
CSS:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul li a {
display: block;
width: 100%;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px;
}
ul li a:hover {
background-color: #ccc;
}

The li element supports an onclick event.
<ul>
<li onclick="location.href = 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3486110/make-a-list-item-clickable-html-css';">Make A List Item Clickable</li>
</ul>

I'm sure it is a late response, but maybe is useful for somebody else.
You can put all your <li>
element content into <a>
tag and add the following css:
li a {
display: block;
/* and you can use padding for additional space if needs, as a clickable area / or other styling */
padding: 5px 20px;
}

Ditch the <a href="...">
. Put the onclick
(all lowercase) handler on the <li>
tag itself.

I think you could use the following HTML and CSS combo instead:
<li>
<a href="#">Backback</a>
</li>
Then use CSS background for the basket visibility on hover:
.listblock ul li a {
padding: 5px 30px 5px 10px;
display: block;
}
.listblock ul li a:hover {
background: transparent url('../img/basket.png') no-repeat 3px 170px;
}
Simples!

How about putting all content inside link?
<li><a href="#" onClick="..." ... >Backpack <img ... /></a></li>
Seems like the most natural thing to try.
