how can I make a td a link?

[fiuPikeOY]

I have a series of td's with a background image, and a two word title, like "About Us" which is the actual link, but people think that the image is the link, and they are having problems. Can I make the whole td a link? How?


Thanks

Perhaps something like this:

<table width="300" border="1">
<tr>
<td style="cursor: default" onclick="location.href='the_page.html'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor = 'pointer';"><a href="the_page.html">About Us</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

Note: the reason for the initial cursor style setting is because some browsers will not allow you to change the style of an object unless it already exists.

You can take the onmouseover out of the tag, it just makes it more easily understandable that you can click on the entire TD, rather than just the link.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, you might want to set the onmouseout event too:

[tt]onmouseout="this.style.cursor = 'default';"[/tt]
