Help me with bringing links to table cells

[Ziggi]

Hi !

I would like to add the link functionality to the
whole table cell (not only to its content).

The purpose is the text inside the cell and the link
itself is going to be frequently modified in Contribute,
while the client wants the whole cell area to be "clickable"
- not the text inside only.

As the text must remain editable - I am unable
to "bake" it into an image to provide all-over clickability.

The following construction: "<a href="link"><td>text</td></a>
works in Explorer but is not validated as <a> tag is not
allowed in this position according to XHTML1.1.

What is the right "legal" solution then ???

Thank you,
Ziggi

Ziggi:

Use CSS to define a specific style for that cell's link, e.g.,

..special a { display:block; height:23px; width:140px; } /* These
height/width numbers are arbitrary */

Then in your page's code, do this -

<td class="special">

Now the entire cell will be 'clickable'.
