How to hide the background underneath the border

Question

I need to modify a website to make the clickable zone of all links bigger for mobile devices. I gave all links a transparent border and a negative margin<

Answer 1

i think that if the border were outside the element, the behaviour you are behind (that clicking on the border behaves as clicking inside the element) wouldn't work either

if the background-image is not repeated, you can set background-position x position to the same amount that your border width. else, you can also try setting the border-color to the same as the color behind the element, but if it is an image, good luck
