Try to set something like this

<a href="#" style="border: 1px solid #000000; width: 100%; text-align: 
center">Some link</a>

Should make a box that is 100% the width of its parent container with a black 
border and text centered in it. Mozilla does not do this however (IE5 does). 
Mozilla just ignores the width attribute altogether.

CSS1 says that width can apply to text as well 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#width), so this is bad.
Never mind. I am a dork. I didn't see that inline elements had to be "replaced" 
elements in order for "width" to apply.
