html css hyperlink icons

Solution 1

A possible workaround will be using css. anchor is inline element and it only wraps the icon. We need anchor to cover whole area in li

using css

ul li a{
    display:inline-block;
    width:100%;
    height:100%;
}

Solution 2

li{
	border:1px solid red;
	display: inline-block;
}
.fa{
	padding:15px;
	padding-bottom: 15px;
	padding-top:15px;

}
a{
	display: block;
}

I have an icon list made of social media but they're only clickable on the letter of the icon, I want it to be clickable on any spot but I have to click on the "F" of facebook:

On the facebook icon, I have to click literally on the "F", it doesn't work if I click on the blue spot, how can I fix this? Here's my code:
```
<div class="leftside">
    <ul class="socialmediaicons">
      <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/EnUnChasquido/"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></li></a>
      <li><i class="fa fa-instagram"></i></li>
      <li><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></li>
      <li><i class="fa fa-youtube"></i></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
```
