question on layout css

Hi please take a look at my codepen below:

http://codepen.io/anon/pen/VYENOW

What Im trying to achieve is putting a div( in black) over the top of li(in yellow) so that when I hover over the black disappears and just leaves the yellow. I understand how to do that but my problem is with the layout.

Why won't the black div lay flush to the yellow list items I can't seem to work out why???? whats falsing the black div down a little so they are not flush together. thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Troy,

I was able to comment out the padding declaration for the .content a rule to achieve the effect you're looking for.

.content a {
  font-size: 30px;
  color: grey;
  /*padding: 10px 20px 10px 10px;*/
}

Hope this helps,

Cheers
