Setting a width and height on an A tag

[buckstoks]

Is it possible to set the width and height in pixels on an anchor tag? I'd like to have the anchor tag to have a background image while retaining the text inside the anchor.\[code\]<li><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4743254/#">Something</a></li>li { width: 32px; height: 32px; background-color: orange;}li a { width: 32px; height: 32px; background-color: red;}\[/code\]
