Changing the appearance of A HREF

I am trying to set the the attributes (border, width, etc) of a href tag using CSS.
But it is being very annoying!
Padding is working and color and thats just about it.
Width, height, borders (only see 2/3 out of the 4 sidded box), etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Regards X
PS: Note when I use the style on other tags there are different outcomes.

A href tag is only link, you can't set border, height, width.
These attributes you can set to any <div id="">, <img> tags and other, which be bounded between <a href="#"></a>.
Show here your code, because we don't know, what you need create with code.

That won't validate - it's tag soup.
The anchor tag is an inline tag, and you can't put a block tag pair inside an inline tag pair. Div is a block tag.
You can't put box properties on inline tags either.
Put the anchor inside the div instead, and attach the box properties to the div.
