Well, you can't nest a DIV inside an A, so you're off on the right foot.
It's just not valid code, and all bets are off as to what the browsers
will do with it.

Depending on what you're doing, you can ditch the innermost DIV and just
set that A to display: block, which will make it display like a DIV.
Then you can play with margins and/or padding to get the 20 pixels you
want.
