Got this link but cant seem to get them to work, need a little help if
possible, ill talk you through what ive done, hopefully someone can point me in
the right direction.

1st hear is the linkhttp://apptools.com/examples/tdcolor.php

i made myself a wee demo table in dreamweaver.
created a new CSS sheet with the following:

table.navbar {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table.navbar td {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
table.navbar td a{
display: block;
width: 9em;
padding: 3px;
text-decoration: none;
}
table.navbar td a:link, table.navbar td a:visited {
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
}
table.navbar td a:hover, table.navbar td a:active {
color: #fff;
background-color: #666;
}

I then attached the CSS sheet to the table but only a few minor things have
changes, the entire table cell isnt showing as a link neither is it changing
color like the demo on the website. HELP!

What and where have i went wrong, thanks.[
