hyperlinking cell instead of just text

« on: March 07, 2008, 08:32:52 AM »

I have a site with rollover cell color changes with text links inside the cells

here:
www.wamproductions.net

my client is a bit bummed about having to click the text with absolute precision and wants the entire area to be "clickable"

any ideas?

One of the solutions would be to use embedded text image links (gifs with transparent backgrounds) instead of text links. Make sure to use alt and title text with the images to make up for loosing the links anchor text.

Code:

Just put that in a table cell instead of a div. Also, you should definitely write a function for it in Javascript then call it throughout your code. That way if you decide to change the url you only need to change it in one place instead of many more.
