Making a td a link

Eli McGowan · Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2005 1:20 pm Making a td a link

I know how to make a link inside the <td></td> tags:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<a href="website.html">Click Here!</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

But, can I make an entire td a link? The following code doesn't seem to work:
<table>
<tr>
<a href="website.html">
<td>
Click Here!
</td>
</a>
</tr>
</table>

I would like to be able to click anywhere in the the cell to link. Is it possible? How?

Thanks

The easiest would be to make an image and insert that image into the cell, else JS might be a method but not all that great

You can use the onclick event of the <td> tag to link to another page for example:

what if I want to keep the href style?

(as in
A:link, A:visited, A:active, .xxmenu a.set2:link, .xxmenu a.set2:visited, .xxmenu a.set2:active {color: #0000ff; text-decoration: none}

A:hover, .xxmenu a.set2:hover {color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none})

I've been trying to do it for a while now.
