help with html

[Paul M]

Hi I want to be able to use a table cell as a link as apposed to text so
when the mouse clicks in the td cell it will go to a URL
Any ideas on code to do this
Thanks

A table cell doesn't have an "onclick" event, but a div does. Put a div into
the table cell, and add an "onclick" event handler for the div.

Try this in the opening <td> tag for the cell.

<td onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com')" style="cursor:hand;">

Works for me. The style cursor:hand lets the user know it's a link.

There might be some browser compatibility issues though, I only tried it in IE

Also works with a title tag to display text:

<td onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com')" style="cursor:hand;" title="Click
anywhere to open the page">

How can I get it to display the link in the same window as apposed opening
a new one
<td onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com')"
style="cursor:hand;">Google</td>

Thanks Paul M

Also works with a title tag to display text:

<td onclick="javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com')"

style="cursor:hand;" title="Click

You can't with javascript:window.open.

Now I have to ask, if you're putting the word Google in the cell, why do you want to make the whole
cell "hot" with an onclick.
Why not just make Google the hyperlink, and then you can make the link open in the same window.

Hi
I am trying to have a navigation table where you hover over the table cell
and it highlights.I have achieved this with swap class but the curser
/pointer doesn't change to a hand symbol. the code you very kindly shared
with me works well but for the fact that it opens another window.
the affect I am trying to achieve is similar to here accept I don't need the
slide menu structure,just the cell highlight

Best wishes

Ah OK. You can do that very easily using CSS and swapping the colors using the hover attribute.

the left nav panel on this page does it that way.

The style sheet is here:

If you are linking to external sites, why would you want to replace your site with the other site
vs. loading the external site in a new window?
