Question

I have a menu you can see on the top right hand side – http://www.balibar.co

HTML:

    <div id="joinHeader" class="shadow">
            <table id="indexNavigation"><tr>
                <td><a id="navSearch">Search</a></td>
                <td><a id="navLanguages">Languages</a></td>
                <td id="activeNavLink"><a id="navLogin">Login</a></td>
            </tr></table>
    </div>

CSS:

 table#indexNavigation {
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 1.1em;
border-collapse: collapse;
 }

 table#indexNavigation td {
text-align: center;
color: white;
width: 33.33%;
border-right: 1px solid #FFF;
cursor: pointer;
 }

table#indexNavigation td#activeNavLink {
border-right: none;
 }

I want to make the entire TD Clickable.
I’ve added cursor: pointer; to the TD but it doesn’t light up except when over the words.
I tried putting the <a> outside the <td> but this didn’t work.

Is there a trick to make this clickable.
Will then hook this up to jQuery for a click event – e.g.:

 $('td#activeNavLink').click(function() {

You should use a display:block in your CSS.

Here’s an example from an unordered list (ul) with block-links: link
