Hello,
I have a table with only one visible cell. Now, if the user selects one cell, the information related to this cell appears in other fields. I don't want to put a button in front of each line. I would like to be able to select the item by clicking on it..... is it possible? If so, how can I do it?... If it's not possible, how can I achieve it?

Thank you
 
Access the onclick event in each cell and call a function to do what you want.
Code:
<table>
 <tr>
  <td onclick="callmyfunction('mydata1')"></td>
  <td onclick="callmyfunction('mydata2')"></td>
  <td onclick="callmyfunction('mydata3')"></td>
 </tr>
</table>
